February 2020: Macca’s is dropping it like it’s hot with the launch of the Spicy Chicken range featuring three new spicy McChicken burgers and the return of the popular Spicy Chicken McNuggets. The new additions to the menu, will be available at McDonald’s restaurants for a limited time only from this week.

McDonald’s has given the iconic McChicken, made with 100% Australian chicken breast, a spicy makeover with three new exciting heat levels – spicy, spicier and spiciest – meaning customers looking to spice things up can now choose a spicy burger option perfect to tantalise their taste buds.

Those after a little spice can ease in with the Spicy Mayo McChicken, customers can then turn the heat up a notch with the Jalapeno McChicken, or dare to take on the spiciest of them all, with the Sriracha McChicken.

The popular Spicy Chicken McNuggets, made with a spicy tempura batter making them deliciously crispy, are making their return -, alongside a new special spicy dipping sauce to crank up the temperature.

Jo Feeney, Marketing Director at McDonald’s Australia says, “Our new range is perfect for anyone looking to spice things up a little! We know our customers love it when they can try a new twist on their favourite menu items, and with three heat levels – Spicy Mayo McChicken, Jalapeno McChicken and Sriracha McChicken – there’s something for everyone. But you’ll need to get in quick as this range will only be available for a limited time.

The Spicy Chicken range is now available in McDonald’s restaurants across NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, NT and TAS via the mymacca’s app and through McDelivery, for a limited time only.
