McDonald's brings back its beloved McCrispy Chicken Strips with a crispier twist and a new Creamy Ranch sauce. Here’s everything you need to know.
For a long time, people have asked McDonald's to bring back the McCrispy Chicken Strips. Finally, these chicken strips are making a return across the country and they now come with a spicy kick.
The McCrispy Chicken Strips first came out years ago but then disappeared from the menu, leaving fans wanting them to return. Now, they are back with the same delicious all-white meat, improved seasoning, and even crispier coating.
This isn't just a simple comeback. The McCrispy Chicken Strips have been updated to fit today’s fast-food style. They're hand-breaded and freshly cooked now, making them extra crispy. McDonald's says this new way of cooking keeps the chicken juicier and crunchier, helping them compete with other well-known chicken places.
Along with the chicken strips, McDonald’s has launched a new Creamy Ranch dipping sauce. This sauce is rich, tangy, and slightly smoky. It’s made to enhance the taste of the chicken without being too strong. It’s great for those who prefer a milder sauce or just love the classic ranch taste with chicken.
The McCrispy Chicken Strips began appearing in April 2025, but exact availability may vary. Some locations have them already, while others might need more time. To know when they'll be available near you, check the McDonald’s app or your local store. A three-piece order is expected to cost around $5.99, but prices may differ depending on the area.
This isn't just about bringing back an old favorite. It’s a clever move. With many fast-food places like Popeyes and Chick-fil-A offering their own chicken, McDonald's is showing it's ready to compete. By combining something familiar with new improvements, they aim to please loyal customers and draw in new ones.
