Spicy Wintertime Chicken Sandwiches

The McDonald’s McSpicy is Headed to Locations in Canada

The McDonald’s McSpicy chicken sandwich is headed to participating locations in Canada as a spicy menu item for diners to try out during the cold winter months as a way to warm up. The sandwich starts off with a 100% white meat seasoned chicken breast fillet that has been marinated, battered and breaded with fiery spices in the mix before being fried to perfection. The chicken patty is then topped with mayo-style sauce and shredded lettuce, all served on a toasted sesame seed bun.

The McDonald’s McSpicy chicken sandwich is arriving alongside the new Spicy Mango Fruit Splash drink that puts a sweet and spicy (swicy) flavor experience in the spotlight. The menu items are launching at a price point ranging from $2.79 to $7.29 CAD.
