Spicy McNuggets are coming back to the McDonald's menu next month, but they'll be gone not long after as part of a limited offer.
The fan-favourite is due to appear on menus from September 7, which is the same day that the latest round of McDonald's Monopoly comes out. McNuggets fans are set to be treated to a new recipe which McDonald's says will be "spicier than before".
They'll also come with a spicy chilli dip to make things extra hot. Fast food fans will have to be quick though as the nuggets will only be around for just over a month, disappearing as quickly as they arrived on October 18.
The prices, as reported by the Mirror, are as follows:
- Six pieces - £3.99
- nine pieces - £4.49
- 20 pieces - £5.99
Spicy McNuggets were first launched in the UK in 2019 and have returned for a limited time only several times since. McDonald's hasn't said if any other menu items are coming back to restaurants alongside Monopoly next month.
Monopoly sees customers win everything from free food and discounts, to cash prizes and brand new cars. The game essentially mimics the classic Monopoly board, with customers able to collect game pieces on menu items that represent roads and train stations.
Then once you collect a set, you win a prize - the rarer that set is (so if fewer pieces are made) the better the giveaway will be. The fast food chain has also confirmed a new “double peel” feature, which will see customers collect game pieces in real life and in the McDonald’s app.
The app will feature a digital gameboard and prize wallet.
In not-so-good news for Maccies fans, the announcement that Monopoly will return comes after the restaurant chain confirmed some items will go up in price this summer. McDonald’s is raising prices by 10 to 20p on many of its items - blaming rising inflation for the reason behind the hike.
The burger giant said it would be "adding between 10p and 20p to a number of the menu items. McDonald's only gave one example of the price rises - its humble cheeseburger, whch will go up in price today from 99p to £1.19.
Most of the price rises will kick in this summer. The restaurant has not raised its cheeseburger prices for 14 years. Exactly how much McDonald's food will go up in price by will vary a bit.
Each branch can set its own prices - except on the Saver menu, where different franchises charge the same amount.
In the email to customers, UK and Ireland CEO Alistair Macrow said: "We’re living through incredibly challenging times and we’re all seeing the cost of everyday items, such as food and energy, increase in a way many of us have never experienced."
