As promised, McDonald's buttermilk crispy tenders are back just in time to kick off 2018. Still no word yet on when they're bringing back Szechuan Sauce for the masses.

When McDonald's debuted their buttermilk crispy chicken tenders back in September, they had no idea just how popular they would be.

Turns out the buttermilk-battered chicken strips were such a fan-favorite they've completely sold out. While McDonald's addresses their supply issues, they're briefly taking the chicken tenders off the menu.

"Our customers are lovin' our new buttermilk crispy tenders. Because demand far surpassed our expectations, we will soon take a brief break from serving them at our restaurants," a McDonald's representative told TODAY Food.

Fans were understandably upset by the news.
