McDonald’s presents Gold Plated

The Golden Arches has teamed up with four top Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) TikTok chefs to create Lunar New Year recipes that blend traditional holiday dishes with iconic McDonald’s faves. Inspired by each chef’s cultural heritage, these unconventional dishes celebrate the Year of the Dragon’s themes of new challenges, embracing change and taking risks.
