400 calories for three strips, with $4.99 to $6.89 recorded and only three readings behind it.
A McDonald's McCrispy Strips 3 Piece price is thinner evidence than anything else in this section: three readings of published US prices in August 2026, two distinct figures, $4.99 at the bottom and $6.89 at the top. McDonald's supplies the calorie count and no price. Four hundred calories for three strips works out near 133 each, about three nuggets' worth in every strip, which is where the two products separate.

If something goes wrong
Only two prices sit behind the $4.99 to $6.89 band
- Cause
- Strips are covered far more thinly than nuggets: three readings came back for the three-piece against ten for the ten-piece McNuggets, and two of the three agreed.
- Fix
- Treat the band as indicative. Where the figure genuinely matters, the app with the restaurant selected is the only one worth acting on.
The strips meal has no price against it
- Cause
- No figure for the three-piece meal came back during checking, so the row is left empty rather than filled with an estimate.
- Fix
- Price the meal in the app as strips plus fries plus a drink, then compare that total with the strips on their own.
Three strips and ten nuggets look like the same order
- Cause
- By calories they nearly are: McDonald's puts three strips at 400 and ten nuggets at 410. What differs is the form, the piece count and the way each is priced.
- Fix
- Choose on price per calorie rather than on the sticker. The strips undercut the nuggets at $4.99 and sit level with them at $6.89.
The nutrition table under the calorie line is empty
- Cause
- That panel is drawn by a calculator running in the browser, so the macros and the allergen list could not be read from the product page.
- Fix
- Open the item in the McDonald's app and let the calculator load, or ask for the printed guide at the counter.
Three strips against ten nuggets, and why this section is lopsided
This section is not symmetrical. McNuggets run to five portions, from four pieces up to forty; McCrispy Strips stop at two, three pieces and four. That single fact shapes everything else on the page. Fewer portions mean fewer readings, and fewer readings mean a wider, softer band than anything on the nugget side.
Three readings came back for the three-piece in August 2026 and they produced two figures, $4.99 twice and $6.89 once, a gap of $1.90 on an item costing about five dollars. Ten readings sit behind the ten-piece McNuggets by comparison. A 38 per cent spread across three data points describes the sampling more than it describes the market.
What's in it?
Three strips of breaded chicken, with a dip chosen separately at the counter. McDonald's puts the three at 400 calories, which is about 133 a strip. Set against roughly 41 calories for a McNugget, one strip is close to three nuggets' worth, and that is the cleanest way to think about the swap. Below the calorie line the panel could not be read: fat, sodium, carbohydrate, protein and the allergen list are written in by a script that runs after the page loads, so a plain read of the product page comes back empty.
Is it worth it?
Per strip, $4.99 works out at about $1.66 and $6.89 at about $2.30. Neither rate compares usefully with nuggets by the piece, because the pieces are not the same size. Calories are the fairer yardstick. Three strips at 400 sit within ten calories of a ten-piece McNuggets at 410, and the ten-piece typically cost $6.99, so at the bottom of the strips band the strips buy those calories more cheaply and at the top they do not. The four-piece box is 530 calories, which puts the fourth strip at 130 and makes it the most predictable upgrade anywhere in the section. Portion for portion, that step is the only one here whose calorie cost can be read straight off two company figures.
One more gap is worth flagging. No price for the three-piece meal came back during checking, so that row stays empty rather than carrying a guess. Anyone weighing strips against nuggets should start from calories, because that is the only column the company actually fills. Prices were recorded from published US listings in August 2026; the 400-calorie figure is McDonald's.

Questions people ask
How much are 3 Piece McCrispy Strips?
Between $4.99 and $6.89 on the three readings taken in August 2026, two of them at $4.99. No company price exists to check that against, so the band comes from published lists and nothing firmer.
How many calories are in 3 McCrispy Strips?
400, published by McDonald's. Divided out that is roughly 133 calories a strip, close to three McNuggets' worth. Dipping sauces are counted separately and add to the total.
Are McCrispy Strips better value than Chicken McNuggets?
At the bottom of the band, yes. By calories the two are almost interchangeable, 400 against 410 for a ten-piece McNuggets, and $4.99 undercuts the nuggets' typical $6.99. By $6.89 the advantage has gone.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. The calorie figure is McDonald's; the prices are not, because the company publishes almost none. Each price reading was taken from published US listings and carries the date it was recorded.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
It cannot. Roughly 95% of US restaurants under the brand are franchised and each operator sets the board, which on a thinly sampled item like this matters more, not less. The app settles it.
