Limited-Edition Fast Food Capsules

McDonald's is Providing Early Access Its New Sandwich

— February 16, 2021 — Lifestyle
Before McDonald's new Crispy Chicken Sandwich is available through restaurants across the nation, fans have the chance to get their hands on the new menu item through a limited-edition fast food capsule. To be a part of "this moment in chicken sandwich history," fans are invited to visit the CHKNDrop.com site at the designated time and date, so that they can secure their sandwich at a local participating restaurant.

The exclusive drop is being paired with an original, never-before-heard audio track by music producer Tay Keith on 7" vinyl, which will appear soon on ads, and a limited-edition hoodie that captures the essence of the new sandwich in a word: "crispyjuicytender."

The new sandwich can be ordered Crispy, Spicy or Deluxe, and it's stacked with ingredients like crinkle-cut pickles and Spicy Pepper Sauce.
