Wraps of the Day is one of McDonald’s UK’s cleverest long-running promotions: a rotating daily deal where a specific chicken wrap is discounted on its named day. It gives regulars a reason to come back through the week, and it has built a small but devoted following of people who plan their lunches around it.
This independent guide explains how the promotion works, which wraps appear on which days, what is inside them, and whether the deal is actually good value.
How Wraps of the Day Works
The concept is simple. Each day of the week is assigned a specific wrap flavour, and on that day the wrap is sold at a discounted price. Order the Monday wrap on a Monday and you pay less; order it on a Wednesday and you pay the standard price (if it is available at all).
Key points:
- The promotion covers chicken wraps — a tortilla filled with crispy or grilled chicken, salad, and a flavoured sauce or coating.
- You can usually choose between crispy (breaded) and grilled chicken for most wraps.
- The discounted price applies on the named day only, in participating restaurants.
- Wraps are available as a wrap on its own or as a meal with fries and a drink; the meal is discounted on the named day too.
- Check the app for today’s wrap and the current price — the MyMcDonald’s app shows the daily deal clearly.
The line-up has evolved over the years, with flavours coming and going. The examples below reflect wraps that have featured in the rotation; the exact current line-up can change, so treat this as illustrative and check the app for today’s definitive answer.
The Wraps: Flavour by Flavour
The BBQ Chicken & Bacon Wrap
Smoky barbecue sauce with chicken and bacon pieces — the hearty, crowd-pleasing option. This is the wrap for people who find the spicier options too aggressive. The combination of BBQ sauce and bacon is a proven winner, and this wrap tends to be one of the most popular in the rotation.
The Sweet Chilli Wrap
Sweet chilli sauce with crispy or grilled chicken and salad. Sweet heat rather than real fire — approachable for most palates, with enough tang to keep it interesting. A good middle-ground choice if you are unsure which wrap to try first.
The Garlic Mayo Wrap
Creamy garlic mayonnaise with chicken — rich, savoury, and unapologetically indulgent. Garlic mayo is one of Britain’s favourite condiments, and this wrap leans into that fully. Not the choice for a first date, perhaps, but excellent at a desk.
The Fiery Buffalo Wrap
Buffalo-style hot sauce bringing proper heat. This is the wrap for chilli fans — tangy, spicy, and warming. If you usually find McDonald’s flavours too mild, this is your wrap.
The Spicy Sriracha Wrap
Sriracha sauce with its distinctive garlicky chilli kick. Similar territory to the buffalo wrap but with a different flavour profile — slightly sweeter, with that fermented-chilli depth that sriracha fans recognise instantly.
Crispy vs Grilled: Which to Choose?
Most Wraps of the Day can be ordered with either crispy (breaded and fried) or grilled chicken:
- Crispy — the classic fast-food experience: crunchy coating, juicier bite, more calories. This is what most people picture when they think of a McDonald’s wrap.
- Grilled — leaner, lighter, and arguably lets the sauce and salad shine more. A meaningful calorie saving for a small trade in indulgence.
There is no wrong answer, but if you are having Wraps of the Day regularly (say, every week on your favourite day), the grilled option is worth considering as your default. Your arteries will thank you, and the flavour difference is smaller than you might expect once the sauce is involved.
Prices and Value
Prices are approximate and vary by restaurant. Last updated September 2026.
The whole point of Wraps of the Day is the discount: on its named day, the wrap costs noticeably less than the standard menu price — typically saving you around a pound or more compared with buying the same wrap off-deal. The meal version (wrap + fries + drink) is discounted too, making the named-day meal one of the better-value lunch deals on the high street.
A few value notes:
- The discount applies to the named day’s wrap only. Buying a different wrap on the same day gets you no deal.
- App offers can stack in the sense that the app sometimes features additional wrap-related deals — always check before ordering.
- Compared with a burger meal at full price, a discounted Wrap of the Day meal is genuinely competitive value for a filling lunch.
Nutrition: How Do the Wraps Stack Up?
Wraps sit in the middle of the McDonald’s calorie range — more substantial than a hamburger, generally lighter than a large burger meal:
- Grilled chicken wraps are the lighter choice, with the chicken itself adding relatively modest calories.
- Crispy chicken wraps add the calories of the breaded coating and frying.
- Sauces matter: creamy sauces like garlic mayo add more calories and fat than chilli-based sauces. A sweet chilli or buffalo wrap with grilled chicken is one of the lighter full-size lunch options on the menu.
- As a meal with fries and a drink, the total climbs — a large fries and a sugary drink can add 600+ kcal on top of the wrap.

Are Wraps of the Day Available All Day?
Wraps are part of the main menu, which means they are served after 11am — not during breakfast hours. Within the main-menu hours, the named day’s wrap is available all day at participating restaurants, subject to stock. If a restaurant runs out of a particular sauce or ingredient late in the evening, the wrap may be unavailable — it happens, though rarely.
Delivery orders through Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo include Wraps of the Day where the restaurant offers delivery, and the named-day discount generally applies on delivery too — though delivery menu prices are typically higher overall than in-store prices.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Wraps of the Day
- Learn your favourite’s day. The whole promotion rewards routine — if the Garlic Mayo wrap is your thing, make its day your McDonald’s day.
- Check the app before you go. The line-up can change, and the app shows today’s wrap, today’s price, and any extra offers.
- Try grilled once. Even committed crispy fans are sometimes surprised by how good the grilled version is.
- Consider the meal vs solo. If you were going to buy fries and a drink anyway, the discounted meal is better value than wrap + sides separately.
- Do not sleep on the rotation changes. When a new flavour joins the line-up, try it on its named day for the discounted price — low-risk experimentation.
