What Is the McDonald's McCrispy?

It comes served on a toasty, buttery potato bun with crinkle-cut pickles. No fillers and no question about what else go into it. Just craveable crispy chicken done right.

The Classic McCrispy: What Is in It?

• All-white chicken breast fillet with rib meat
• Seasoned flour breading for maximum crunch
• Crinkle-cut pickles
• Toasted, buttered potato roll
• Southern-style seasoning (not spicy)

A Brief History of the McCrispy

The McCrispy was added to the U.S. McDonald's menu as a permanent item when the chain decided they wanted to compete in the crispy chicken sandwich craze that was taking over America. Sure, there was always a classic McChicken and other regular chicken items on the McDonald's menu previously, but none of them where exactly what people were looking for in a nice, thick and crunchy fillet. The McCrispy absolutely delivered that, and it became one of our favorite things on their menu.
