The Daily Mail reported that the new McCrispy Deluxe sandwich is made with 100% Aussie RSPCA-approved chicken breast meat that is coated and deep-fried. It is served with fresh tomato, shredded iceberg and cos lettuce, and Aussie Jack cheese. The sandwich is completed with signature sauce and a soft glazed bun.
