Deluxe McCrispy
The McCrispy that eats like a proper chicken burger. Lettuce, Roma tomato and mayo replace the pickles, and the cool, fresh layer makes it feel more like something from a diner than a fast-food counter. It loses the tang that makes the original interesting, so this is the one for people who find pickles too much.
The story
The deluxe suffix is an old McDonald’s habit: take an existing sandwich, add lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, and charge more for it. It has been applied to the Quarter Pounder and the McChicken over the years, and in February 2021 it arrived with the new chicken line as one of three versions launched on the same day. The fillet and the potato roll are identical to the plain McCrispy; the cold, crunchy layer is the whole difference and the whole reason it costs more.

About McDonald's
Nobody sells more burgers. McDonald’s began as a single drive-in run by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California, and became a burger machine in 1948, when the brothers threw out most of the menu and rebuilt the kitchen like a production line. Ray Kroc, a salesman who sold them milkshake mixers, started franchising it in 1955 and later bought the brothers out.
More than 40,000 restaurants in over 100 countries.
