530 calories confirmed by McDonald's on two reads, against a single price reading of $5.49.
One reading is all the McDonald's McCrispy Strips 4 Piece price rests on: $5.49, taken from published US listings in August 2026, with no second figure to build a range from. The calorie side is the opposite. McDonald's states 530 for the four strips and returned the same number on a second read, which makes it the firmest figure anywhere in this section and the reason the two columns disagree so sharply.

If something goes wrong
The price range column is empty
- Cause
- One reading came back for the four-piece, at $5.49. A range needs two figures at minimum, and inventing a second would be worse than leaving the cell blank.
- Fix
- Read $5.49 as a single reading. The three-piece band, $4.99 to $6.89, gives a rough sense of how far a strips price can travel.
The four-piece looks cheaper per strip than the three-piece
- Cause
- It is, on the figures recorded. $5.49 across four strips is about $1.37 each, against $1.66 at the bottom of the three-piece band and $2.30 at the top.
- Fix
- Treat that gap carefully, since it sets one reading against three. Compare both on the same menu board before deciding.
The meal row says not published
- Cause
- No price for a four-piece strips meal came back during checking, so the row states that rather than guessing at one.
- Fix
- Build it in the app from strips, a fries and a drink. The three-piece meal is the more commonly listed build and may be the only one offered.
Nothing but calories shows on the nutrition panel
- Cause
- That panel is generated by a calculator running in the browser, so fat, sodium, carbohydrate and protein could not be read, and neither could the allergen list.
- Fix
- Load the item in the McDonald's app, where the calculator runs and the table fills. Allergy questions belong at the counter as well.
One price reading against the section's most confident calorie figure
Most pages in this section have the problem the other way round. Prices are plentiful and soft; calories come from one place and hold still. The four-piece McCrispy Strips inverts that. Its calorie figure was read from McDonald's twice, with differently worded requests, and came back as 530 both times. Its price rests on a single reading of $5.49, which is why the range column above is empty.
An empty cell is doing real work there. A range built from one figure would be a range of nothing, and the alternative — averaging in a number borrowed from a comparable item — would produce a price that never existed anywhere. So the table says $5.49 and stops. The three-piece band of $4.99 to $6.89 is the nearest available guide to how far a strips price can move, and it moves a long way.
What's in it?
Four strips of breaded chicken, dip chosen separately. McDonald's puts the four at 530 calories, and subtracting the 400 it publishes for three gives 130 for the fourth strip, one of the few clean pieces of arithmetic the company's own figures allow. Everything under the calorie line could not be read: fat, sodium, carbohydrate, protein and the allergen list arrive through a browser-side calculator, so a plain read of the product page returns an empty table where the panel belongs.
Is it worth it?
Against the three-piece, on both measures. At $5.49 across four strips the rate is roughly $1.37 each, cheaper than $4.99 across three, which comes to about $1.66. On calories the four-piece delivers around 97 per dollar against 80 for the three at its lower figure. Against nuggets the comparison flatters less: a twenty-piece McNuggets at a typical $8.39 carries 830 calories, about 99 to the dollar, and beats the strips outright on rate. Strips win on form and lose on price, which is roughly what a bigger piece of chicken usually costs.
One caveat weighs more here than on any other page in this section. A single price reading is not a market. Where the four-piece matters, the board at the restaurant is the figure to use, and about 95% of US restaurants under the brand are franchised, so that board is set locally. The 530 belongs to McDonald's; $5.49 was recorded in August 2026.

Questions people ask
How much are 4 Piece McCrispy Strips?
$5.49 on the one reading taken in August 2026. That is the whole sample, which is why no range appears in the table. The board at the restaurant is the figure that will actually be charged.
How many calories are in 4 McCrispy Strips?
530, published by McDonald's and confirmed on a second read of the same page. Set against the 400 the company publishes for three strips, the fourth strip is worth 130 calories.
Is the 4 Piece better value than the 3 Piece McCrispy Strips?
On the figures recorded, yes. Four strips at $5.49 work out at about $1.37 each against $1.66 at the bottom of the three-piece band, and deliver roughly 97 calories a dollar against 80. Bear in mind that is one reading against three.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. Calories here come from McDonald's; the single price figure does not, and the company publishes almost no prices at all. Everything in the price column was recorded independently and dated.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
It cannot, and on an item with one recorded price the gap between a page and a till is at its widest. Open the McDonald's app, choose the restaurant, and read the board figure there.
