McNugget caviar kit made my go-to order feel unexpectedly fancy

McDonald's launched a pre-Valentine's promotion that ships free caviar kits to nugget fans while supplies last. I received a sample and was surprised at how well the salty sturgeon eggs paired with the chain's crispy McNuggets. The kit includes a 1-oz tin of baerii sturgeon caviar from Paramount Caviar, eight ounces of crème fraîche, a mother-of-pearl serving spoon, and a $25 voucher for McNuggets.

Sipping sparkling wine (not included) and topping each nugget delicately felt like a small upgrade from my usual sweet & sour or barbecue dipping routine. The idea traces back to a dish served at the August 2025 US Open, when COQODAQ offered six nuggets topped with caviar, crème fraîche, and chives for $100; fans recreated the concept online.

Nubia Murray, McDonald's senior director of brand communications, said the promotion was a way to make caviar "playful and accessible" and to bring fans' emotional connections with the brand to life.
