After listening to customers’ enthusiasm for Szechuan Sauce over the past few months, McDonald’s has revealed the final addition to its gig-style poster lineup designed by artists from Delicious Design League. For the most obsauced fans, McDonald’s even produced small batches of Szechuan Sauce dipping packets. The savory and slightly sweet sauce with hints of soy, ginger, garlic, and slight vinegar notes will be available, along with limited-edition posters, at participating restaurants in Washington and Oregon on Saturday, October 7.
Last week, McDonald’s unveiled nine limited-edition, dipping sauce-themed posters to introduce the new Buttermilk Crispy Tenders made with 100 percent white meat chicken and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, seasoned, battered and breaded to perfection. Each custom, screen-printed poster allows customers to showcase their sauce passions for Creamy Ranch, Honey, Honey Mustard, Hot Mustard, Spicy Buffalo, Sriracha Mac Sauce, Sweet ‘n Sour, Tangy Barbeque and the new Signature Sauce. However, the collection wouldn’t be complete without the restaurant’s most talked about sauce, Szechuan Sauce.
“McDonald’s is a brand that creates feel-good moments for our guests, and that is what we are doing in across Washington as we celebrate the launch of our newest menu item, Buttermilk Chicken Tenders.” Said Jim Campbell, McDonald’s Bellingham Owner/Operator. “We are excited to continue creating opportunities to bring the community together at our restaurants where they can enjoy menu favorites while creating new moments and memories with friends and family.”
Customers will have the chance to receive their favorite limited-edition sauce poster, including a Szechuan Sauce poster, with the purchase of Buttermilk Crispy Tenders at 21 participating McDonald’s restaurants throughout Oregon on Saturday, October 7, beginning at 2 p.m. local time while supplies last. Select restaurants will also have limited quantities of Szechuan Sauce dipping packets while supplies last. Limited-edition stickers of the poster designs will also be available when the collectible posters and sauces run out.
A full list of the nearly 1,000 participating McDonald’s restaurants and more details surrounding the posters and Szechuan Sauce giveaway on Saturday, October 7 can be found at www.buttermilkcrispytenders.com.
Fans are encouraged to show their sauce love using #ButtermilkCrispyTenders.
Buttermilk Crispy Tenders became available nationwide at participating McDonald’s restaurants on September 27 and are sold for $3.79-$3.99 for a 4-piece serving.
