The fast-food giant is debuting McCrispy Strips, expected to be available by May 5 in participating markets – although some restaurants have them now. The 100% white meat strips, coated with a new black pepper flavored breading, come with a new Creamy Chili Dip, described as "savory, sweet and tangy," McDonald's announced April 24.

McDonald's is rolling out its first permanent menu item in four years with the new McCrispy Strips. Why it matters: The chicken strips' arrival is the latest hint that the fan-favorite Snack Wrap is coming back to restaurants soon — nine years after it was discontinued.

While McDonald's continues to hint about the return of Snack Wraps, another chicken item is coming soon to the fast-food giant, McCrispy Strips.
