McDonald's Mccrispy Strips (3 Piece) Complete Information

McDonald's McCrispy Strips in a 3 piece box carry 400 calories with 31g of protein, the highest protein of any chicken item on the menu that is not a full sandwich. Whole cuts of chicken breast in the McCrispy breading, launched in 2025.

Strips against nuggets is the choice between real fillet and nostalgia. Three strips carry more than triple the protein of a 4 piece McNuggets at 170 calories, because the meat inside is cut breast rather than processed paste. It is the same chicken as the $6.49 McCrispy sandwich and the $3.89 Snack Wrap. On price, this page shows none: the restaurant listings we verify against publish no standalone figure for the box, and inventing one would defeat the point of this site. The nutrition, ingredients and allergens are all here in full, and every dipping sauce carries its own verified price.

Health Insight

At 400 calories and 1320mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Chicken McNuggets (4 piece) on the same menu comes in at 170 calories. See Chicken McNuggets (4 piece)

How to Make a Mccrispy Strips (3 Piece) at Home?

McCrispy Strips are the easiest McDonald's chicken to reproduce well, because they are what they look like: cut breast, buttermilk brined, in a craggy seasoned crust. Nothing is processed or formed, so a home kitchen has no disadvantage here at all.

Tips

  • Overnight buttermilk. An hour works, a night is better, and nothing else moves the result as much.
  • Rub brine into the flour. Smooth dredge gives a smooth crust, which is not what these are.
  • Rest before frying, drain on a rack after. Both steps are about the crust surviving.

Variations

  • Toss the fried strips in cayenne butter for a spicy version, the same sauce idea as the $6.79 Spicy McCrispy.
  • Roll two strips into a warmed tortilla with ranch and lettuce for a home Snack Wrap, $3.89 in restaurant.
  • Serve on a potato roll with pickles and butter and you have built a McCrispy sandwich.

Serve hot with dipping sauces. The pots carry verified prices on this site, from $0.35 to $0.39 each.

Mccrispy Strips (3 Piece) Questions

How much are McCrispy Strips?

The live restaurant listings this site verifies against publish no standalone price for the 3 piece box, so this page shows none rather than guessing. Counter pricing is set per restaurant. The nutrition, ingredients and allergens on this page are complete.

How many calories in 3 McCrispy Strips?

400 calories with 31g of protein, the most of any chicken item on the menu outside a full sandwich. That is more than triple the protein of a 4 piece McNuggets at 170 calories.

What are McCrispy Strips made of?

Whole cuts of chicken breast in the McCrispy breading, the same meat as the $6.49 McCrispy sandwich and the Snack Wrap. They are not formed or processed, which is the difference from McNuggets.

McCrispy Strips or Chicken McNuggets?

Strips for protein and texture, nuggets for dipping and sharing. Three strips carry 31g of protein against 9g in a 4 piece, but a 20 piece nugget box feeds a table in a way strips do not.

What sauce goes with McCrispy Strips?

The Creamy Ranch at $0.39 and the McCrispy Signature Creamy Chili at $0.39 were both built for this line. The full sauce lineup with prices and calories has its own menu page.
