Eating fast food may not be the fanciest way to spend date night, but McDonald’s is upping the ante for Valentine’s Day.
In a first-of-its-kind luxury collab, McDonald’s is teaming up with Paramount Caviar to offer customers McNugget Caviar kits for the most romantic weekend of the year. Each kit includes a one-ounce tin of Baerii Sturgeon caviar, a $25 McDonald’s gift card (to buy plenty of McNuggets), creme fraiche, and a Mother of Pearl caviar spoon, according to a press release. And the best part is it’s completely free.
Why McNugget Caviar?
While it might feel incredibly random to some folks (including me), the chicken nugget and caviar combo is actually a fine dining trend. Korean-inspired fried chicken restaurant COQODAQ served up a dish of nuggets topped with Petrossian caviar, creme fraiche, and chives at the U.S. Open last year in New York City. Despite the outlandish cost ($100 for chicken nuggets!), it was a hit. The combo has been an ironic luxury treat for years, though. Trendsetter Rihanna even posted about it back in December 2024.

“What makes this pairing so iconic? The crispy, golden goodness of our signature McNuggets and the salty, savory, black pearls of Paramount’s Baerii Sturgeon caviar make for a true match made in heaven for the special occasions in life,” the fast food chain said in the announcement.

McDonald’s McNugget Caviar kits will be available exclusively at McNuggetCaviar.com (not available in stores) starting Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. ET. Mark your calendars. The company has not said how many kits will be available, only that supplies are limited. So you’ll want to act quickly.
As noted above, the kits are completely free of charge. Considering a single ounce of Paramount’s Baerii Sturgeon caviar typically costs $95, this is one helluva deal. Looks like fast food can be fancy after all.
