For McDonald’s, this year has been all about “healthy” McWraps and egg-white McMuffins, but the company is finally embracing its true self: Enter the Mighty Wing, a brand-new menu item that shockingly doesn’t have a “Mc” prefix. By September 24, McDonald’s will sell breaded bone-in chicken wings in all of its U.S. stores. Here are the facts: They’re flavored with cayenne and chili pepper and paired with creamy ranch, honey mustard, and tangy barbecue sauces. A three-piece pack costs $2.99, and you can also get them in five- and ten-piece increments. It’s a good move for McDonald’s to focus on what it does best: selling cheap, filling, and greasy fast food. [Earlier, Bloomberg]
