McDonald’s is offering 10 Chicken McNuggets for $1

McDonald’s gives a gold nugget as a Christmas present.

On Dec. 17, Golden Arches dropped another deal: 10 Chicken McNuggets for $1, which customers can redeem once a week in its app until Dec. 30 — so there are more opportunities to treat yourself to some cheap nuggets before bullet drops for the new year.

If the deal sounds familiar, it ran from November 4th to December 2nd, as part of McDonald’s “Season of savings” — and now it’s back.

McDonald’s has put value (with a capital “V”) at the heart of its offerings this year, starting with the debut of its $5 meal deal in May. Then, in November, it announced its new McValue menu, which drops in U.S. restaurants on January 7, 2025 and includes its meal deals, a new “Buy One, Add One for $1” offer and local deals.

The chain has also announced the return of two anticipated items: The limited-time McRib is back on menus — along with a half-gallon jug of its sauce — and the fan-favorite Snack Wrap will be back sometime in 2025, according to McDonald’s USA president Joe Erlinger.

McDonald’s isn’t the only fast food place making nugget news: Taco Bell is adding Crispy Chicken Nuggets along with three new dipping sauces to its menu nationwide on December 19 for a limited time while supplies last.

The Tex Mex-inspired nuggets feature all-white meat chicken pieces marinated in “jalapeño buttermilk flavor” and coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips. Customers can dip them in their choice of three new sauces: Jalapeño Honey Mustard, Bell Sauce or Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce.
