McDonald's Adds Spicy Chicken McNuggets to Menus in Select Cities – NBC Chicago

The nuggets are breaded in a “crispy tempura coating” and seasoned with a mixture of cayenne pepper and chili pepper, according to McDonald's.

According to the Chicago-based burger chain, the spicy twist adds an “extra kick of spiciness” to the classic and beloved traditional Chicken McNugget.

But not all restaurants will offer them, McDonald's said.

The nuggets, which hit the menu 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.”

Just 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 might 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 the launch of new Mario Kart Happy Meals.
