McDonald's Chinese New Year meal, grilled chicken sandwich and twisted French fries. Tray liner has an image of the Chinese zodiac.

In China, Chicken McNuggets come with the traditional barbecue, sweet and sour, honey and hot mustard sauces, but also a chili garlic sauce (very popular in China). They also include crispy chicken wings (called McWings) on their menu, which comes in two, four and six pieces. There is also a seasonal Chinese New Year meal available, including the Grilled Chicken Burger, curly fries, with a horoscope of the twelve zodiac animals of Chinese astrology and traditional red packets (lai see), for monetary gift giving as good luck. Note that all chicken burgers offered in Chinese McDonald's use thigh fillet (e.g. Premium Grilled Thigh Fillet Burger, Hot and Spicy Grilled Thigh Fillet Burger), rather than breast meat as per usual in occidental countries. The Big 'n' Tasty is sold as the Big 'n' Beefy in the Chinese market and is topped with cheese, cucumber and mild-spicy Thousand Island dressing. [Pies come in two standard flavors - pineapple and taro (a kind of sweet potato), although limited flavors including chocolate, banana and azuki bean have also been offered. A unique feature of Chinese McDonald's is the 'McExpress' walk-up window, which sells a small range of drinks and ice cream desserts and are usually located on the outside of a building. Most McExpress windows are attached to restaurants but in some cases can be physically independent but usually managed by a nearby restaurant and are typically located in shopping malls, department stores and subway stations. McDonald's China offers a delivery service in most major cities - the delivery number within China is 4008 517 517, as the Chinese pronunciation of 517 is wu yao qi, which sounds similar to wo yao chi, meaning "I want to eat". Deliveries are taken 24 hours a day via a call center to anywhere that is within 5 km of a restaurant (3 km in several cities). Deliveries are usually made by electrically powered scooters, although in several cities where motorcycle bans are in place, a conventional courier bicycle is used. Food is normally carried in a large insulated backpack. An additional RMB¥7 (approx USD$1.20, GBP/EUR.70c) delivery fee is added.
