Darren’s smart thinking is good news for fans of McDonald’s tasty Chicken Selects items. The special trick allows foodies to get four for the price of three.
Normally on the menu, Chicken Selects cost around £4.30 for a set portion, but with this handy trick you will only need to pay £3.98 for four pieces. The revelation came after the TikToker had a look at the wraps of the day item.

When you purchase two wraps of the day, which are priced at £1.99 each, and remove everything except the chicken pieces, you will end up with four pieces of Chicken Selects. Darren’s hack will save customers a grand total of 32p.
There has been an uproar of positive reactions from viewers, as well as McDonald’s regulars and even workers following the publishing of the video. One person called the hack “monumental” while another branded Darren “the hero we deserve.”
