McDonald's has announced the launch of McWings on its New Zealand menu, as the battle of fast food fried chicken options continues.
Following the announcement chicken fans were longing for, McDonald’s New Zealand is serving up McWings, the juicy new menu addition Kiwis have been waiting for.
After a hugely popular trial that had fans fizzing over social media, McWings are now officially available nationwide.
Crispy, golden, and packed with flavour, McWings are perfect for adding to your combo or enjoying as a sneaky solo snack. Whether you’re stopping by the Drive Thru or ordering in, this crave-worthy addition is set to become a fast favourite.
“McWings were a huge hit during our trial period, so it’s great to now see them officially land on our national menu,” said Kylie Freeland, Managing Director of McDonald’s New Zealand.
“It’s a fun new addition for our customers, and one we know they’ll be saying yes to when asked, ‘Would you like McWings with that?’”
Available from Wednesday, 12 November, McWings can be ordered in packs of three at participating McDonald’s restaurants across the country.
And because every great wing deserves a great dip, Hot Honey dipping tubs are also joining the line-up for a limited time, perfect for adding a little extra sweet heat to the McWings moment.
