Mickey Dees is going highbrow with its latest culinary mashup, this time pairing its signature crispy nuggets with caviar.
Just ahead of Valentine’s Day, McDonald’s announced the release of its first-ever McNugget Caviar Kits, which will be exclusively available online next Tuesday for free.
In a promotional partnership with New York-based Paramount Caviar, the fast food giant will give away free kits — including a 1-ounce tin of McNugget Caviar (Baerii Sturgeon), crème fraîche, a mother-of-pearl caviar spoon, and a $25 McDonald’s gift card.
“After all, nothing says ‘ILY’ quite like a limited drop from McDonald’s just in time for your Valentine’s Day plans,” the company said in Monday’s announcement.
The kits, not available in restaurants, will drop at 11 a.m. ET on Feb. 10 at McNuggetCaviar.com and supplies are limited.
The promotion is inspired by a viral social media trend that Rihanna sparked in December 2024 on Instagram when she posted a Reel putting a highbrow spin on a lowbrow favorite.
Months earlier, upscale New York City Korean fried chicken restaurant COQODAQ popularized the bougie concept with its Golden Nugget, which features a single nugget topped with a heap of caviar for $28.
