Nothing excites fast food<\/a> fans quite like a new McDonald\u2019s<\/a> menu item \u2013 and this spicy returning champion is bound to be a hit.<\/p>\n

Yes, the iconic <\/a>McSpicy X Frank\u2019s RedHot<\/a> is making a comeback \u2014 and this time there\u2019s a brand new dip too.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever, Frank\u2019s RedHot\u00a0Mayo dip<\/strong> \u2013 the same that\u2019s in the burger \u2014 will be available to order separately.<\/p>\n

The mayo-with-a-kick will be available to level up your sides and, apparently, even your dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Available exclusively in the UK, McDonald\u2019s says, \u2018Whether it\u2019s McNuggets, fries, or even an apple pie \u2013 yes, really \u2013 lovers of bold flavours can now spice up the entire menu with this creamy, tangy, and fiery mayo.\u2019<\/p>\n

While we might give the Apple Pie pairing a miss, the idea of Frank\u2019s RedHot mayo and a sharing box of nuggets already has us sweating.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the McSpicy Frank\u2019s RedHot?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like its first release, the McSpicy Frank\u2019s RedHot will feature 100% chicken breast in a \u2018hot and crispy coating\u2019.<\/p>\n

The burger will be topped with lettuce, cheese made with Emmental, jalape\u00f1os, slivered onions, and, of course, Frank\u2019s RedHot\u00a0Mayo, all sat under a toasted sesame seed bun.<\/p>\n

It might be worth grabbing a McFlurry, too, just in case the spice proves too much to handle.<\/p>\n

Last time around, McDonald\u2019s fans went wild for the McSpicy Frank\u2019s RedHot, with Instagram user @grumpynorthernfoodie saying, \u2018Oh yes!! All kinds of amazing\u2019.<\/p>\n

Another commenter, @surreysmoking chose to simply call it \u2018utterly genius\u2019, while @tashajiujitsu said \u2018this will be incredible\u2019.<\/p>\n

Soonmixdin perhaps had the highest praise, commenting \u2018How do you improve on perfection? THIS!!!!\u2019<\/p>\n

However, Reddit user @GiveItARestYhYh described it as having \u2018a nice level of spice\u2019 going on to say, \u2018Not challenging at all, but actually left a glow\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tWhat Metro thought of the McSpicy Frank’s RedHot\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
\n

The Metro team did a taste test of the McSpicy Frank\u2019s RedHot<\/a>, and it\u2019s fair to say that it divided opinion.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle reporter Courtney said, \u2018Heat levels aside, I really enjoyed the burger; it was packed with a lot of filling, the chicken was nice and crispy, and there was a refreshing amount of lettuce, too. I\u2019d give it a solid 5\/5. McDonald\u2019s did exactly what they set out to do with this one.<\/p>\n

However, social producer Torin wasn\u2019t such a fan, adding: \u2018As a McDonald\u2019s fan, I know they thrive when it comes to spice. So, I had high hopes for the new McSpicy x Red Hot collaboration. However, in my frank view, this would be a special I would skip.<\/p>\n

Metro\u2019s executive editor Richard sat firmly in the middle, saying: \u2018I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s blown my mind, but it\u2019s definitely spicier than anything I\u2019ve had from McDonald\u2019s before. All in all a tasty treat that has hit the spot and I wouldn\u2019t shy away from having another one.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
