McDonald's Snack Wrap returns to the golden arches today — and 3 other new spicy menu additions this week

Yahoo6 days ago
McDonald's is making some big changes as it adds new items to its U.S. menu this week. The fan-favorite Snack Wrap is back by popular demand today. The menu item originally debuted in 2006 and consisted of chicken, shredded lettuce and cheese covered with either ranch or honey mustard, wrapped in a tortilla. It was discontinued in 2016.
The fast food chain also spiced things up on its breakfast menu with new additions that include the Spicy Sausage McMuffin, the Spicy Egg McMuffin and the Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg.
Later this month, the fast food chain will beef up its McValue offerings for a limited time in participating locations.
Here's what else to know about the new menu offerings:
The Snack Wrap will be a permanent menu item starting Thursday, July 10, in restaurants nationwide.
It will be available in two flavors: spicy and ranch.
A ranch chicken Snack Wrap previously contained 320 calories.
The menu item will be priced at $3 and will be available to order starting at 10:30 a.m. local time through late night at participating restaurants.
After years of fans reportedly pleading with the fast food giant to bring back the Snack Wrap, McDonald's announced in June on social media that the item would make its triumphant return. 'You created a movement. A movement so powerful that you finally won,' the post read.
McDonald's is spicing up its breakfast menu with three new additions starting on Tuesday, July 8, for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide.
The fast food giant is offering a variety of Spicy McMuffins featuring its Spicy Pepper Sauce, including:
Spicy Sausage McMuffin (460 calories)
Spicy Egg McMuffin (360 calories)
Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg (530 calories)
The new breakfast menu items come as part of the fast food chain's 50th anniversary celebrations for the McMuffin.
McDonald's has a new double burger on its menu: the Daily Double. It will be available through the end of 2025 at participating restaurants across the U.S.
It's being offered as a more premium burger with two beef patties, cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, slivered onions and mayo (490 calories).
Starting July 22, the Daily Double will be a new entrée option in the McDonald's McValue Meal Deal bundle and will be priced at $6 or $7, depending on the location.

KFC has tweaked its chicken preparation. How to get a free bucket

Kentucky Fried Chicken is giving away free buckets of chicken to customers. The fast food brand was built on a "legendary blend of 11 herbs and spices," but has made strides in operations to improve its taste and customer satisfaction scores. Now, it's inviting customers back to taste the difference — "crispy, hot, and unmistakably original," the restaurant said in a July 14 news release. The 'Kentucky Fried Comeback' promotion is for an eight-piece tenders or chicken bucket, and comes as a slew of fast food industry players have launched fried chicken items. Last week, McDonald's reintroduced its Snack Wrap, sparking a friendly war on tortilla-wrapped chicken. How to get a free KFC bucket of chicken The eight-piece bucket offer is a digital offer, available on and the KFC app at select stores through the KFC Rewards account with a minimum $15 online purchase (before taxes and other fees). The offer must be redeemed before checkout, and it cannot be combined with other offers. Customers are responsible for taxes and fees. The promotion ends on Aug. 24. KFC moving its headquarters KFC is currently headquartered in Louisville, but recently announced plans to move out of Kentucky. In February, its owner, Yum!

Popeyes debuts two new menu items. When can you try them?

Popeyes newest menu items were made for dipping. Chicken dippers arrived at participating restaurants Monday, July 14, alongside a new signature sauce inspired by Popeyes' New Orleans roots, according to the Miami-based chicken chain. Customers can dunk the dippers — thin strips of white meat chicken battered in Popeyes' signature spice blend — in a sauce that blends 'the bold flavors of the Louisiana 'holy trinity;' bell pepper, celery, and onion,' Popeyes said in a news release. Prices start at $4.99 but may vary by location, according to the restaurant's website. 'We took our time developing it over the last five years, ensuring we landed on something undeniably Popeyes,' Chef Amy Alarcon, vice president of culinary innovation at Popeyes, said of the signature sauce. This 'is a monumental moment for our brand, and one we approached with care, knowing it had the potential to become an iconic part of our menu,' she said. The chicken dippers are available for a limited time, but the signature sauce is here to stay, according to Popeyes. It'll join classic dipping sauces including barbecue, blackened ranch and honey mustard. The dippers' debut comes at the heels of Popeyes latest menu innovation: chicken wraps. A first for the chicken chain, each 'grab-and-go style' wrap features a full-sized chicken tender, lettuce, cheese, pickles and customers' choice of sauce. Popeyes beat rival McDonald's to the punch, launching its wraps a day before the Golden Arches teased the highly anticipated return of its snack wrap. 'Infusing the flavors from our famous biscuit into our wraps was the perfect way to ensure our signature flavors shined through,' Alarcon said at the time. Find your nearest Popeyes here.

McDonald's new spicy breakfast items are here: How long they're available

McDonald's is unveiling a series of new options to help "spice up" its breakfast menu as part of the fast food chain's 50th anniversary celebrations for the McMuffin. The three new spicy breakfast menu items include the Spicy McMuffin, Spicy Sausage McMuffin and Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg. The items will feature their traditional ingredients – cheese, egg, Canadian bacon or sausage and a buttered English muffin, topped with Spicy Pepper Sauce, according to a news release from McDonald's. The items are available beginning July 8 for a limited time at participating locations, according to the fast food chain. McDonald's launched the Egg McMuffin in 1975. The breakfast item was the brainchild of Herb Peterson, a McDonald's franchisee in Santa Barbara, California. Herb, according to previous USA TODAY reporting, presented the sandwich as a to-go version of a diner classic: Eggs Benedict. Roy Kroc, the businessman who transformed McDonald's into what it is today, loved the idea. The iconic fast food chain also has a new double burger on its menu: the Daily Double. The Daily Double, available now nationwide, is made with two beef patties, a slice of American cheese plus shredded lettuce, slivered onions, mayo and two tomato slices. The burger had been available in limited markets including Chicago, Miami and Seattle, but will be available nationally through 2025, the company said. On July 22, the Daily Double will join McDonald's McValue Meal Deal options, served with a 4-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, small fries and small soft drink ($6 or $7; pricing depends on your restaurant). That menu still includes the $5 Meal Deal. The burger is now appearing in the McDonald's app, where you can also get deals including a free medium order of fries with a $1 purchase in the app every Friday through the end of 2025.
