McDonald's to give away McCrispy Strips on May 24. Here's how to get free food
McCrispy Strips are now on the menu at McDonald's, and the fast-food giant will be giving them away on Saturday, May 24.
But there's a catch: You have to enter via social media.
So how can you get your hands on some free McCrispy Strips? Here's what you need to know to enter.
The chicken strips and their dipping sauces dropped in early May, according to McDonald's X account. Meanwhile, the company continues to be coy about the return of another chicken item, Snack Wraps, teasing on social media that the fan favorite would return before October 2025 but refusing to give any more specifics, yet.
Nation's Restaurant News (NRN) reports that McDonald's is giving away 1,000 virtual gift cards for free McCrispy Strips on May 24.
To enter, fans must post an Instagram story with #DipforMcCrispyStripsGiveaway and tag @GoFooji. The marketing company Fooji specializes in brand engagement and customer experience, according to its website.
According to McDonald's Menu, McCrispy Strips include three or four pieces of chicken with black pepper breading and a dipping sauce. The restaurant recommends the Creamy Chili dip specifically developed for the McCrispy Strips, but other dips include barbecue, a spicy buffalo sauce, and more.
A three-piece McCrispy is 350 calories, while four pieces are 460. The Creamy Chili sauce is 110 calories.
A Burger Beast food reviewer purchased the three-piece set for $4.99 and the four-piece for $5.99. However, prices will vary by market.
McDonald's has been coy about revealing when its fan-favorite Snack Wraps will return. The chain's latest clue dropped on social media was "0x.14.2025," hinting that the wraps would return before October at the latest.
McDonald's Snack Wrap debuted in 2006, USA TODAY reports, before being discontinued in 2016. Some restaurants continued to serve it until 2020. That's when it was removed from the menu to simplify McDonald's offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Food Network.
The basic Snack Wrap is a chicken breast with lettuce, cheese and sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla, per Food Network.
There are 613 McDonald's restaurants in Ohio, according to the web scraping tool ScrapeHero. Only California, Texas, Florida and Illinois have more locations than Ohio.

File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Giada De Laurentiis will help gift a family the kitchen of their dreams in her Prime Video special Giada in My Kitchen, due June 23. In a trailer released Tuesday, De Laurentiis, 54, discusses her upcoming show near a fireplace. "I think I know a thing or two about setting up a great kitchen," the celebrity chef and former Food Network star said. "So many cooks are stuck with a kitchen that isn't working for them." That will change by the end of the special -- De Laurentiis will partner with Erik Garcia to renovate the space. "A great kitchen should feel like a dance -- everything in its place, just where you need it," she told People. "...I always prioritize flow and function first, then layer in beauty through natural materials like marble, wood and stone to bring warmth, texture and personality into the space." Giada left Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades, hosting such shows as Everyday Italian, Giada at Home and Giada's Weekend Getaways.
