McDonald’s just brought back its iconic Chicken Strips – and the internet is going crazy. But are they worth the hype in 2025? Let’s dig into the flavor, quality, and what makes them different this time.
🔥 Why McDonald’s Chicken Strips Disappeared
Once a fan favorite, McDonald’s removed their Chicken Selects in many regions years ago due to inconsistent demand and prep time issues. But now, with customers craving comfort food and high-protein snacks, they’re back on the menu!
🍗 What’s New in the 2025 Chicken Strips?
According to McDonald’s, the new strips are:
- Made with 100% white meat chicken
- Lightly breaded for a crispy texture
- Seasoned with a bold, savory blend of spices
- Served with new dipping sauces like Spicy Buffalo Ranch and Smoky Honey BBQ
They’re available in 3-piece, 5-piece, and combo meals, making them perfect for a quick snack or a full meal.
🧪 Are They Healthier Than Before?
Nutrition-wise, the new version has slightly less sodium and fewer preservatives. However, they’re still deep-fried — so balance is key!

🗺️ Where Can You Find Them?
Not every McDonald’s location has the strips yet. They’re rolling out in select states like Texas, California, and Florida. You can check on the McDonald’s app or ask in-store.
