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.
