McCrispy Strips (and their precursors, Buttermilk Crispy Tenders and Chicken Selects) are chicken strips sold by the international fast food restaurant chain McDonald's in the United States and Canada. Chicken Selects were introduced in early 1998 for a limited time and offered again in early 2002 and late 2003 and then permanently starting in 2004. In the UK, they were launched on the "Pound Saver Menu", which offers various menu items for £0.99.
In mid-2006, [3] McDonald's introduced the Snack Wrap, which contains a Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strip, or as of January 2007, a Grilled Chicken Breast Strip, [4] cheddar/jack cheese, lettuce, and either ranch, honey mustard, or chipotle barbecue sauce, all wrapped inside a white flour tortilla, priced at 99¢-$1.39 depending on the market.
Chicken Selects were terminated in 2013. The product briefly returned in 2015 as a limited-time promotion. In August 2017, a similar chicken tender product named "Buttermilk Crispy Tenders" was added to the menu, [5] [6] caught up in a viral craze tied to the Cartoon Network's Rick and Morty show's focus on Szechuan Sauce. [7] [8] However, they were discontinued in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] [10] In May 2025 Chicken Selects returned as a permanent menu item available as a 3-piece and 4-piece. [11] A McCrispy Strip is also used for a snack wrap that was reintroduced as a menu item in July 2025 and is available as ranch and spicy flavors and as a 2-wrap meal. [12]
A promotional website for the sauce, which was meant to lift sales of its new Buttermilk Crispy Tenders...
After McDonald's Szechuan Sauce played a prominent role in the Cartoon Network show "Rick and Morty," McDonald's responded with a playful tease, giving away a few gallons of the sauce before bringing it back on Saturday for a one-day promotional event tied to the launch of Buttermilk Crispy Tenders.
