They are sooo good. I get the grilled chicken with ranch. I ask for it without the wrap and it comes in a container just like a burger without a bun. Its soooo yummy!!!

I just ask for a burger or cheese burger without sauce or ketchup (means it's always cooked fresh) and just dump the bun. Sometimes I ask for extra salad.

Ummm...no it doesn't. The burgers are sitting in a big metal dish under a heat light and they will just assemble it right then. They may be a little hotter...but not fresh cooked.

Well, fresher! My local McD is pretty busy, most of the burgers are served shortly after cooking. There's a scary number of children eat there for lunch.

Wonder if they'd wrap that up in a big lettuce leaf. Now that sounds tasty!

Sometimes when I get a burger without the bun, they do put lettuce on both sides so I'm sure they would if you asked.

Ya, its grilled chicken, cheese, ranch dressing and lettuce. I am sure if you asked (and they understood) then they would wrap it in lettuce for you..

I didn't know they had grilled ones -- I've only seen fried chicken ones. Thanks for posting this!

Personally, I'm a little leery of "grilled" chicken from fast food places because you have no idea what they marinate or inject the chicken with before they actually grill it. Most marinades contain sugar.

I went on the website and looked up the ranch grilled chicken snack wrap and it states it has 26 carbs....of course, thats including the wrap. If they're using Newman's Own ranch dressing on it, their website says there are 9 carbs in 2 oz's of that alone!!!

Maybe I'm over cautious...but...better safe than sorry!

Yep, there was thread on it a while back...there's like 20 ingredients in the "grilled chicken." There's 2 ingredients in the beef. Beef and salt.

My youngest son worked at McD's for about 2 months....his behind the scene stories pretty much ruined any desire I might have had to ever eat there again!

I went to their site too and there is a place that you can customize their meals.. so without the wrap its only 3 carbs. 1 carb for chicken, 1 carb for cheese, and 1 carb for lettuce.
