McDonald’s Australia is bringing the heat this season with the debut of a new Feisty McSpicy range and the return of two fan-favorite menu items – Spicy Shaker Fries and Spicy Chicken McNuggets – for a limited time.
Dubbed McDonald’s hottest burger to date, the new Feisty McSpicy range includes three extra-spicy options: the Feisty McSpicy, the Double Feisty McSpicy, and the Cheese and Bacon Feisty McSpicy. The new Feisty McSpicy is a spicier variant of the McSpicy, which is a permanent menu item at McDonald's Australia. This piquant new offering consists of a spicy, crispy-fried, chicken filet topped with lettuce, mayo, and new Feisty Hot sauce, all served on a sesame seed bun. The Double Feisty McSpicy version features two times the chicken, while the Cheese and Bacon Feisty McSpicy also includes bacon and cheese. As McDonald’s Australia Marketing Manager, Lancy Huynh, said in a recent press release, "Our new Feisty McSpicy range offers the iconic Macca’s taste that customers know and love, topped with our Feisty Hot Sauce for a mouthwateringly memorable kick."
