It's a wrap: McDonald's, Popeye's kick off latest fast food battle Show Caption Hide Caption Rotisserie chicken tips, tricks and recipes Turn one rotisserie chicken into multiple easy, delicious meals. If 2019 was the year of the fast food chicken sandwich battle, 2025 appears to be the year of the fast food chicken wrap battle. McDonald's U.S. president Joe Erlinger confirmed on "Good Morning America" in December 2024 that the fan-favorite Snack Wrap would be making a comeback sometime in 2025. In April 2025, the chain's social media accounts shared another clue to the wrap's official return date. Finally, McDonald's confirmed to USA TODAY on June 3 that the Snack Wrap will officially be coming back to restaurants permanently beginning Thursday, July 10. The company said the Snack Wraps will feature one of McDonald's new McCrispy Strips – a juicy chicken strip made with all white meat – topped with crisp shredded lettuce and shredded cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Popeyes, meanwhile, announced on June 2 it is introducing Chicken Wraps to its menu for a limited time, giving customers the "craveable flavor of Popeyes, now wrapped and ready to go wherever you do," according to a news release. The wraps feature Popeyes hand-breaded and battered chicken tenders with crispy lettuce, shredded cheese and crunchy pickles, all in a warm tortilla that's inspired by the flavor of Popeyes biscuits, according to the company. The new item will cost $3.99 and will be available with your choice of a Classic, Spicy, or Honey Mustard spread. Chicken wraps send social media into a tizzy Popeyes appeared to instigate the latest fast food chicken battle on May 30 when it took a jab at McDonald's X post from April 15 hinting at a possible return date for the Snack Wrap. McDonald's post from April 15 read: "snack wraps 0x.14.2025," hinting that the menu item would return on the 14th day of an unidentified month in 2025. "Chicken wraps 0x.02.2025," Popeyes said on May 30. On June 3, McDonald's posted "snack wrap 07.10.2025" on X, followed by a long post giving a behind-the-scenes look at how the company made the decision to bring the Snack Wrap back. Popeyes responded to that post on the same day with another jab at McDonald's. Popeyes also took to another social media platform, Instagram, to poke fun at McDonald's. Popeyes was among the first to comment on McDonald's post announcing the Snack Wraps, saying "glad we could make that happen," with a smirking emoji. In addition to the brands going at each other on social media, customers are also expressing excitement about both menu items. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.

McDonald's reveals official date for fan favorite Snack Wrap launch
Many popular chicken chains thought they had gotten ahead of the McDonald's Snack Wrap rerelease by launching their own, but none compare to the original's fame. The McDonald's Snack Wrap was introduced nationwide in 2006 and quickly became a fan favorite. However, after nearly a decade, the company ultimately discontinued it due to operational issues in 2016. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The Snack Wraps consist of crispy chicken, shredded cheese, and lettuce, all wrapped inside a tortilla. Although this might have been the best decision for the business at the time, customers begged McDonald's to bring back the Snack Wrap for years, causing the fast-food chain to return it for a limited time across select locations nationwide in 2020. Related: McDonald's teases return of item fans have long clamored for But fans' joy was short-lived because the Snack Wrap again disappeared from the McDonald's menu by the end of that year.

It didn't provide a specific date for the relaunch, however.

Still, McDonald's didn't confirm any rumors. After months of teasing the Snack Wrap relaunch, McDonald's has finally announced the official date, and it's only a few weeks away. The fast-food giant revealed via an Instagram post featuring a carousel of photos that Snack Wraps will be available nationwide across all McDonald's locations beginning July 10, writing "snack wrap 07.10.2025." However, this official date doesn't match the tease McDonald's posted a few weeks back. The photos explained the surprising change of plans, with screenshots of a typed Notes app note.

I know I posted 0x.14.2025 a few weeks ago but I wanted to see if they could come back even sooner. So I asked the boss and he said 'OKAY LET'S DO IT?!?!!'" writes the note. "It's the honor of my lifetime to finally Snack Wrap is back because of YOU. See you 07.10.2025," they added.
