McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets are an absolute fan favorite thanks to their juicy inside and crispy outside. And for a long time, the OG McNugget was the only one you could get from the chain (at least in the US).

That all changed with the introduction of the Spicy Chicken McNugget in 2020. And after a few quick visits to the menus in 2021, 2022 and 2023, they’re back for a limited time. It’s official: McDonald’s has confirmed that the nugget variety will be available at participating locations starting this week.

The Spicy Chicken McNuggets are returning to McDonald’s

Regular Chicken McNuggets are made with a ground chicken mixture covered in a light batter, then covered in a celery and white pepper bread crumb, and finally a thick tempura batter. The Spicy Chicken McNuggets have the same white ground chicken base and are described by the brand as “breaded in a crispy layer, tastefully seasoned with a blend of aged cayenne pepper and chili pepper.”

From November 4 you can order the spicy nuggets per 6, 10, 20 or 40 pieces. However, as in years past, they will only be available in select markets, including Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Memphis and New York.

Fans online are excited for the product’s return, though many have expressed hope that the spicy nuggets are here to stay for a good while as well as a long time.

Commenters on Snackolator’s Instagram post said: “Finally back in Phoenix! I’m so excited to grab some!” and: “Yes! For me they are the best nuggets.”

Due to the limited edition of the nuggets, you must check at your own location to see if they are in stock. If your location doesn’t have spicy nuggets on the menu, you can still satisfy your spicy chicken cravings at Wendy’s, Shake Shack, Popeyes or KFC.
