Whether we like to admit it or not, many of us visit fast food restaurants like McDonald’s at least occasionally. As you might imagine, many McDonald’s locations exist in the Orlando area. In fact, the “World’s Largest Entertainment McDonald’s” exists in Orlando at 6875 Sand Lake Road near Universal Orlando Resort. We can debate the claim of the largest McDonald’s in the world being in Orlando on another day.

Nevertheless, McDonald’s, which is never afraid to follow a trend, has decided to up its chicken game, following the example of places like Zaxbys. McDonald’s stated that it was listening to its fans. They said they heard their fans say one thing clearly: they want more chicken. But not just any chicken – they want juicy, dippable perfection. So, countless taste tests later, McDonald’s is ready to reveal McCrispy Strips and the all-new Creamy Chili Dip. This marks the first time since 2021 that they have debuted a permanent menu item in the United States of America. These will be available in all participating restaurants nationwide by May 5.

McDonald’s Raising the Chicken Game

McDonald’s stated they were raising the chicken game to a new level with McCrispy Strips: irresistibly craveable chicken strips made with juicy, 100% white meat, coated with crispy golden-brown breading and bursting with a bold, new black pepper flavor. McCrispy Strips also come with a perfect pairing – Creamy Chili Dip, a savory, sweet and tangy sauce that unlocks the full Strips experience.

“Since stepping into my new role as a leader of the U.S. business this year, I’ve been excited for fans to get to experience our additional chicken offerings,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald’s. “The demand for chicken strips has been remarkable to see across the industry, so we knew we had to deliver something so craveable that it was worth the wait. We took our time, listened to our fans and created a product we knew they would crave. And the best part is we’re just getting started.”

Fans can get their hands on McCrispy Strips in three- or four-piece counts, served with one or two Creamy Chili Dip sauce cups, respectively. They can also zest up this meal McDonald’s signature sauces – like Tangy Barbecue, Spicy Buffalo, Creamy Ranch, to name a few – and discover their go-to combination.

“When we introduce a new menu item like McCrispy Strips, we know we have a big promise to fulfill to meet our customer’s expectations,” said Cesar Piña, senior vice president and chief supply chain officer at McDonald’s. “From the farms we source from to how food is prepared in our restaurants, bringing new products to our fans requires collaboration across suppliers, franchisees, and company staff. We hold ourselves to the highest standard and aim to bring fans nothing less than greatness.”
