For A Tastier McDonald's McCrispy, Order It German-Style

Not everyone goes to McDonald's for the burgers. In fact, many people frequent the beloved chain for the McNuggets, the crispy French fries, and, yes, the crispy chicken sandwich, aka the McCrispy. It's made with a fried chicken filet, pickle slices, and a fluffy potato roll, but around the world, this iconic sandwich looks a little different. Say, for instance, you want to order it German-style — there are a few tweaks to make your stateside order just like it's done in McDonald's Germany.

To order your McCrispy sandwich German-style, remove the pickles and add lettuce and cheese. The German version also comes with a honey mustard sauce. While you might not be able to get honey mustard directly on the sandwich here, you can ask for a packet on the side to add to the sandwich yourself. The honey mustard gives this sandwich a sweet, tangy flavor, while the cheese adds richness and the crisp lettuce a refreshing touch. The final result is similar to a Deluxe Sandwich from Chick-Fil-A.

On its own, the American McCrispy is about $6.89, depending on location. Cheese is $1.69 extra, but FYI, the mobile app doesn't allow you to add lettuce to the regular McCrispy so you might need to start by ordering the Deluxe McCrispy first, for $8.17, then remove the tomato and mayo. All said and done, this tasty sandwich should come out to about $10 to $13, depending on location.

Of every McDonald's chicken item, the McCrispy is arguably the most popular. It's no wonder why so many fans have concocted their own ways to elevate the sandwich. "Mine is a Deluxe McCrispy. No mayonnaise SUB Mac Sauce, ADD American Cheese, ADD Crinkle-Cut Pickle," one Redditor posted. Other commenters on Facebook think the McCrispy pairs well with the Creamy Chili Sauce and the new Caesar Sauce. Which, by the way, would also taste great with the German-style add-ons.

Apart from sauce pairings, we recommend a few other tweaks. For one, we love transforming McDonald's Spicy McCrispy sandwich with employee-approved additions like extra pepper sauce, crinkle-cut pickle slices, and crispy bacon.

Sure, this trick is typically done with the hamburgers, but who doesn't love even more crispy chicken?
