McDonald’s New ‘Gold Sauce’ Is Here To Make Snack Wraps Shine

McDonald’s knows how to dangle nostalgia and newness in the same golden basket. They just rolled out a Special Edition Gold Sauce—a tangy North Carolina–style BBQ sauce kissed with honey, mustard, and smoke—and putting it on four chicken items, including the long-awaited return of the Snack Wrap.

Yes, you read that right: the Snack Wrap is back… kind of. The Special Edition Gold Snack Wrap is making its debut, featuring McCrispy Strips, lettuce, shredded cheese, and that new Gold Sauce, all for just $2.99.

Beyond that comeback, McDonald’s is also dressing its chicken lineup in gold:

  • Bacon Special Edition Gold McCrispy Sandwich: A toasted potato roll stuffed with crispy chicken, Gold Sauce, bacon, and pickles.
  • Bacon Special Edition Gold Deluxe McCrispy Sandwich: The deluxe treatment—add lettuce and tomatoes to the mix.
  • McCrispy Strips: Get them with Gold Sauce on the side for dipping.

I recently got to try the Gold Sauce at an activation event celebrating its debut and it proved to be a smart pairing, as the sweet and tangy duo effortlessly enhanced each bite. Think a welcome punch of flavor rather than a foil to what was already going on in each bite.

It’s a limited run while supplies last, so if you’ve ever wanted to watch the Golden Arches lean into a gold standard of sauces, now’s the time.
