McDonald’s adds Spicy Chicken McNuggets to menus in select cities – NBC Chicago

One of McDonald’s most popular menu items is about to get spicier, at least in some cities.

Spicy Chicken McNuggets will return to McDonald’s menus in select local markets, the company confirmed to NBC Chicago.

The news from the Chicago-based burger chain came after rumors on social media claimed that the nuggets — which have appeared on menus nationwide several times since 2020 — would return for a limited time.

The nuggets, McDonald’s said, are breaded in a “crispy tempura coating” seasoned with a mix of cayenne pepper and chili pepper, McDonald’s said.

According to the Chicago-based burger chain, the spicy version gives an “extra kick” to the classic and beloved traditional Chicken McNugget.

But not all restaurants will sell them, McDonald’s says.

The nuggets, which hit the menu on Nov. 4, will only be sold in participating local markets, McDonald’s said, “including but not limited to Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Memphis, New York and more.”

Don’t count on them being in the Chicago market this time, McDonald’s USA said. But that could change.

“You never know when they will be in the Windy City,” the company said.

The nuggets also follow McDonald’s new Chicken Big Mac, which some say tastes like a “giant chicken nugget.” Earlier this week, McDonald’s confirmed it had launched new Mario Kart Happy Meals.
