McDonald’s Chicken Selects® are a premium option in the UK, made from 100% chicken breast. These tender strips are seasoned and coated in a crispy, golden breading. They have a softer, more “tender-like” texture than regular nuggets and come with a choice of dipping sauces, such as Smokey BBQ, Sweet Chilli, or Sour Cream & Chive.
