McDonald's teases new version of Snack Wraps inspired by the McCrispy
McDonald's announced in Dec. 2023 plans to offer the McCrispy in nearly all markets around the world by the end of 2025. The fast food giant also said it wants to expand the McCrispy into wraps and tenders as well.
McDonald's said in a news release at the time that the size of the company's chicken business is currently on par with beef, and it wants to continue to "aggressively expand through billion-dollar equities" such as McNuggets, McChicken, McCrispy and McSpicy.
According to the product description on McDonald's website, the McCrispy is a "southern-style friend chicken sandwich" topped with crinkle-cut pickles and served on a toasted, buttered potato roll.
The Snack Wrap was discontinued in 2016 due to employee complaints, citing the product was too complicated to make.
