McDonald’s revealed in an earnings call Monday that its rebranded Crispy Chicken Sandwiches — which are actually referred to as the McCrispy — have grown to grow to be a $1 billion global brand.
The event comes as McDonald’s says its consolidated revenues increased by 14% and comparable sales within the U.S. rose 8.1% over the third quarter of this yr.
“Our McCrispy chicken sandwich continues to be a crucial driver of chicken share growth, having first launched in markets like Canada and Germany and now a billion-dollar brand,” McDonald’s Chief Financial Officer Ian Borden said.
McDonald’s describes its McCrispy sandwich as a “southern-style fried chicken sandwich that’s crispy, juicy and tender perfection” that’s “topped with crinkle-cut pickles and served on a toasted, buttered potato roll.”
The sandwich can also be offered in a spicy and deluxe version with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise.
“McDonald’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich quickly became a fan-favorite when it first hit US menus in 2021. And now, this beloved sandwich is joining a few of our most iconic menu items — McNuggets®, McMuffin® sandwiches and McFlurry® desserts — with a fresh latest name: McCrispy™,” the corporate said earlier this yr in announcing the rebrand.
