McDonald's BBQ Big Tasty release date, price and how long it's on menus

McDonald's has announced the return of the Big Tasty alongside a brand new flavour. The fast-food chain has confirmed the Original Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon are back on the menu, while the Big Tasty BBQ with cripsy onions is being introduced for the first time ever.

The McDonald's menu shake-up will also see the Homestyle Crispy Chicken and Chilli Cheese Bites return to restaurants. While both the Crème Egg and Cadbury Caramel McFlurry are available to customers once again for Easter.

As usual, however, the menu options will only be available for a limited time period. And following the sell-out of the Chicken Big Mac last month customers should move fast if they want to get their hands on the new items.

Here's everything you need to know about the new and returning McDonald's products, from release date to price and how long they are around for.

When is the McDonald's BBQ Big Tasty coming to the UK?

The brand new Big Tasty BBQ is coming to UK menus on Wednesday, March 16 . Customers will be able to get their hands on the new item from 11am in restaurants across the UK and Ireland.

It won't be around for long though, with the burger available at participating restaurants for a limited time only or until stocks last. It's worth noting that the last McDonald's release, the Chicken Big Mac, ran out after just one week, so you might want to move fast if you want to get your hands on one. You can read more on this here.

What is the McDonald's BBQ Big Tasty?

The development team at McDonald's UK&I has spent months perfecting this twist on the iconic burger to make it even tastier for fans. It's made with 100% British and Irish beef topped with two slices of Emmental cheese, bacon, lettuce, crispy onions and lashings of Big Tasty BBQ sauce inside a sesame seed bun.

How much is the BBQ Big Tasty?

The Big Tasty BBQ has an RRP of £6.89 for a medium meal, £5.39 for a single burger. Costs will vary depending on the branch, however.

What other McDonald's menu changes are there?

Joining the Big Tasty BBQ is the Big Tasty Original . As well as the Big Tasty with Bacon.

Also on the menu is the Homestyle Crispy Chicken , which is a crispy chicken breast fillet, topped with a hot and spicy mayo, caramelised onion, seasonal lettuce, bacon, red onions and a slice of cheddar cheese. All sat between a glazed poppy and the classic McDonald’s sesame seed bun.

The Chilli Cheese Bites with rich tomato dip will also be making a comeback. Which is a portion of four chilli cheese bites in a crispy batter, served with a rich tomato dip.

Also returning for Easter is the Creme Egg McFlurry . Soft dairy ice cream, swirled with Cadbury milk chocolate pieces and a Cadbury Creme Egg fondant sauce.

As well as the classic Cadbury Caramel McFlurry. Made with Cadbury milk chocolate pieces and caramel sauce swirled into soft dairy ice cream. Available both as a regular or mini size.
