McDonald’s Versus KFC Wraps
PO: You are craving for a wholesome and filling wrap but don’t have the heart to prepare and put together all the ingredients.
Your solution: Order a wrap from your go-to fast-food giant, McDonald’s. But wait, why don’t you try a KFC wrap today? Feeling confused about what you should opt for? Don’t be. Try out a new wrap or check out what features set the two options apart.
Let’s dive into the savory delight that comes from chicken-filled, crispy wraps and pick the best treat.
Variety
Both McDonald’s and KFC offer a mix of flavors. For McDonald’s, you get three different chicken wraps and a vegan wrap. For chicken wraps, you get a choice between BBQ & Bacon, Caesar, and Sweet Chilli wraps. At this time, KFC also offers four wraps. These are Kentucky Mayo Twister, Supercharger Mayo Twister, Smokey BBQ Twister, and Sweet Chilli Twister.
Flavor
Foodies claim that KFC offers a simpler range of flavors that remains consistent and predictable across the wraps. McDonald’s is notorious for the variety of its sauces, flavors, and recipes. Which taste would you prefer?
The flavorful sauces of KFC are kept simple and filling whether you choose Kentucky Mayo, BBQ, or Sweet Chilli. The taste is completed with crispy pickled slaw and juicy and spicy chicken cuts. KFC’s wraps are toasted but McDonald’s aren’t.
McDonald’s boasts about its flavors and condiments. While you get freshly cut vegetables with no added flavors in these wraps, the flavor comes from sauces and chicken’s spices. Your fast-food love adds a layer of choice and variety with its grilled versus crispy chicken cuts.
Vegan Option
Did we mention McDonald’s offers a vegan option to the vegan fans of McDonald’s? Spicy Veggie One wrap is loved by many veggie lovers and it comes with a certificate from Vegan Society. This option is missing in KFC’s range of offers.
Deals
Both McDonald’s and KFC offer their wraps as part of their Wrap of the Day deal. Here is the detail of wraps from both fast-food chains on each day of the week.
Day | McDonald’s Wrap of the Day | KFC Wrap of the Day |
Monday | Caesar & Bacon Chicken One | Kentucky Mayo Twister |
Tuesday | BBQ & Bacon Chicken One | Kentucky Mayo Twister |
Wednesday | None | Kentucky Mayo Twister Smokey BBQ Twister |
Thursday | BBQ & Bacon Chicken One | Kentucky Mayo Twister Sweet Chilli Twister |
Friday | Sweet Chilli Chicken One | None |
Saturday | Caesar & Bacon Chicken One | None |
Sunday | Sweet Chilli Chicken One | None |
We can see that McDonald’s offers a larger variety in its Wrap of the Day deals. Unlike KFC which only offers three wraps in its weekdays-only deal, Maccies offers all four flavors from its Big Flavor range for its fans’ enjoyment. Interestingly, apart from Wednesday, there is no off day for McDonald’s.
Price
On the paper, McDonald’s prices appear higher than KFC’s. While you can get a Twister wrap for £3.99 to £4.99, you can only get a Spicy Veggie One wrap from McDonald’s in this range. All other wraps cost a little over £5 mostly.
Despite this disparity in price, McDonald’s offers a far better deal than KFC because it includes all wraps in its Wrap of the Day deal. So, all you have to do is choose the right day as your cheat day to enjoy your favorite wrap at the perfect price. Note that both McDonald’s and KFC offer similar prices for their Wrap of the Day deals, and these prices are £1.99 and £1.98 respectively.
Calories and Health Concerns
Both wraps are offered by fast-food chains which are notorious for lack of nutritional value in their menu. Yet, you may want one of these to be slightly less unhealthy than the other. Are you ready to know which of these two is healthier?
While I have no answer for that, I can assure you that KFC wraps contain more calories per wrap than McDonald’s. You see, only one McDonald’s wrap has crossed the calorie limit of 500 per wrap and that is only for its crispy version. On the contrary, most of the KFC chicken wraps start only at 500 calories per wrap and go up from there.
Wrapping It Up
Let’s wrap the wrap talk. Here is the conclusion of our latest concern: should you eat McDonald’s wrap or KFC’s today? I have no answer. You will choose based on your choices and taste. Or if you haven’t tasted KFC yet, you may want to wander off a bit from your favorite wraps and try a new deal. You are free to maintain your loyalty, by the way, if you want it that way.
