The McCrispy® Meal is McDonald’s flagship chicken sandwich combo — launched in 2021 as a permanent replacement for the old Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and McDonald’s direct answer to the chicken sandwich wars led by Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, and Wendy’s. For $12.59, you get the McCrispy sandwich, Medium World Famous Fries®, and a Medium Coca-Cola®. At 1,040 calories and 30g protein, the McCrispy Meal is one of the lighter combos at McDonald’s — fewer calories than the Big Mac Combo (1,170), the QPC Meal (1,110), or the Cheeseburger Meal (1,190). The sandwich itself is just 470 Cal — making it one of the leanest main items on the menu. And like the McNuggets Meal, it has zero trans fat. The McCrispy uses an all-white meat chicken breast fillet that’s Southern-style breaded — a thick, craggy coating that’s pressure-cooked for a deeply crunchy exterior while keeping the inside juicy. It sits on a toasted potato roll (buttered, not mayo’d in the regular version) with crinkle-cut pickles. The simplicity is deliberate — let the chicken be the star. 👉 View Full: McDonald’s Menu with Prices
