This Valentine’s season, McDonald’s wants you to ditch the traditional box of chocolates for something far more decadent and sophisticated. In an unexpected twist on quick-service dining, the Golden Arches has revealed that it is giving away exclusive McNugget Caviar kits at absolutely no cost. While the pairing of world-class roe and crispy chicken might sound like a fever dream, this limited-edition drop is real and guaranteed to be the most coveted reservation of the season. If you want to transform your fast-food Valentine’s date night into a five-star culinary experience, you’ll need to act fast, as these kits are expected to disapper quicker than a side of fries. Read on to discover exactly how you can snag this fancy menu item before it’s gone.

What’s inside the McNugget Caviar kit?

In a bold collaboration with the luxury purveyors at Paramount Caviar, McDonald’s is bridging the gap between fast-food comfort and high-end indulgence with its exclusive McNugget Caviar kits. This rare bundle provides all the essentials for a sophisticated DIY feast: a 1oz tin of premium Baerii Sturgeon caviar, a $25 Arch Card to secure your supply of golden McNuggets, a side of crème fraîche, and a traditional Mother of Pearl spoon to ensure every bite is perfect.

The unexpected pairing works thanks to the contrast: McNuggets’ crispy, golden exterior meets the rich, briny pop of Paramount’s Baerii sturgeon caviar, creating a playful yet indulgent bite perfect for marking a special moment. It’s a flavor profile that balances salty and savory in a way that feels both approachable and incredibly upscale.

Since its inception in 1991, Paramount Caviar has cemented its status as a titan of the American luxury food scene. Built on a foundation of time-honored traditions and over thirty years of mastery, their selection is a staple in world-class Michelin-starred kitchens and elite hotels. By partnering with the Golden Arches, Paramount is bringing that same commitment to sustainability and excellence directly to your table. Whether you are a lifetime aficionado or a curious first-timer, this collaboration proves that any moment—even a trip to the drive-thru—can be transformed into a celebration.

When and where to snag your free McNugget Caviar kit

If you’re ready to trade your typical sweet-and-sour McNuggets sauce for something a bit more… oceanic, you’ll need to be quick on the click. The exclusive McDonald’s McNugget Caviar kits are dropping on Tuesday, February 10, at 11 a.m. ET, and they are expected to vanish in seconds.

To get your hands on one, head directly to McNuggetCaviar.com at the launch time—these are not available in-store or through the standard McDonald’s app. Best of all, the kits are completely free, offered as a special Valentine’s treat on the house. Since supplies are strictly limited, consider this a
“first-come, first-served” race for the ultimate high-end date night.

The inspiration behind the McNugget Caviar kit

The unlikely marriage of chicken nuggets and caviar didn’t come out of nowhere. As reported by USA Today, the idea traces back to a viral luxury bite unveiled at the U.S. Open in August 2025. During the tournament, New York–based, Korean-inspired fried chicken spot COQODAQ made headlines by offering a $100 dish featuring six crispy nuggets crowned with Petrossian caviar, crème fraîche, and chives.

The indulgent creation quickly caught attention online, blending everyday comfort food with one of the world’s most coveted delicacies. Traditionally considered a symbol of luxury, caviar consists of salt-cured, unfertilized fish eggs—making its pairing with nuggets both unexpected and irresistibly buzz-worthy.
