McDonald's bringing back McCrispy chicken strips. Here's when as we wait for Snack Wraps return
While McDonald's continues to drop hints about the return of its cult favorite Snack Wraps, another chicken item is returning to the fast-food giant much sooner. McCrispy strips will be available nationwide on April 29 and are already in some restaurants, reports fast-food influencer Snackolator. Here's what to know. What's in a Snack Wrap? When do they come back? McDonald's hints at cult favorite's return date According to Snackolator, McCrispy strips are coming back to McDonald's on April 29, but some locations have them now. According to a food review of the strips posted at Burger Beast, the McCrispy strips come as a three- or four-piece combo with the choice of two dipping sauces. The available dipping sauces are: Creamy Chili Spicy Buffalo Hot Mustard Nether Flame A secret no more: Craving a Land, Sea & Air? Or a Big Mac 'n' Cheese? How to order off McDonald's secret menu The Burger Beast food reviewer purchased the three-piece combo 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 the Food Network. The basic Snack Wrap is a chicken breast with lettuce, cheese and sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla, per the Food Network. McValue menu: See the deals on new McDonald's value menu being launched with WWE star, actor John Cena The Snack Wrap isn't the only fan-favorite returning to McDonald's menus in 2025. In an earnings call in February, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said that the company is setting its sights on expanding chicken offerings in its stores and wants to "increase its market share in the chicken category by the end of 2026," according to Quartz. 'We'll continue to roll out the McCrispy, and there's incredible energy around the return of Snack Wraps in the U.S., alongside new offerings like chicken strips and the limited-time Chicken Big Mac,' Kempczinski said in the call. He hinted that customers could expect the new items to "come online later in the year.' Other items like the Chicken Big Mac proved to be successful enough to help McDonald's chicken market share in the U.S. and France. Kempczinski noted that McDonald's plans to continue rolling out the Chicken Big Mac as a limited-time offering, TODAY reports. 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.
