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.

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 announces McCrispy Strips, on the same day Taco Bell brings back its crispy kitchen and Wienerschnitzel announces three sandwiches.
