But McDonald's Mighty Wings are a "whole different galaxy" than the competition's new items, Hume said.
"Anyone can do nuggets or tenders and almost all burger chains do, but Mighty Wings are different because they're bone-in chicken," Hume told us. "They're also tougher to source in large numbers but McDonald's has the clout to do it."

The McWings also mean that McDonald's is threatening chicken-heavy fast food companies like Popeye's, Chick-Fil-A, and KFC, Hume told us.

Buffalo Wild Wings customers won't be lured by McWings because they want to watch sports and drink beer, Morgan Stanley analysts said in a note.
