McDonald’s brings back fan favorite breakfast item

The discounted drinks are a welcome return for McDonald’s fans who had to bid farewell to the fast food chain’s $1 sodas of any size, which were phased out in recent years due to rising costs.

In addition to the drink discounts, McDonald’s is also releasing a new McCrispy, the fast food giant’s fried chicken sandwich entrée.

The McDonald's Bacon Cajun Ranch McCrispy debuts at participating restaurants on April 22, 2024.

Beginning April 22, consumers can try the new Bacon Cajun Ranch McCrispy for a limited time at participating restaurants.

The sandwich features “bold, creamy, and spicy Cajun ranch sauce,” McDonald’s says and is finished with apple wood-smoke bacon and crinkle cut pickles and served on a toasted potato roll.

Additional information about the new sandwich can be found online.
