Cajun-Spiced Chicken Sandwiches

McDonald’s Just Added New Bacon Cajun Ranch Chicken Sandwiches

— April 14, 2024 — Lifestyle
McDonald’s is cranking up the heat this spring with the debut of the new Bacon Cajun Ranch Chicken Sandwiches.

Just as the name suggests, the new Bacon Cajun Ranch Chicken Sandwiches feature the brand's signature chicken, but with a little Cajun twist. The new Bacon Cajun Ranch McCrispy starts with a southern-style fried chicken fillet, paired with crispy applewood smoked bacon, crinkle-cut pickles, and a creamy Cajun ranch sauce, all served on a warm potato roll. For twice the flavor, you can also order the Deluxe version of the Bacon Cajun Ranch McCrispy, which features the same ingredients, as well as juicy slices tomatoes and some shredded lettuce.

The new Bacon Cajun Ranch Chicken Sandwiches will begin rolling out on April 17th.
