As if the summer heat was not already hot enough, McDonald’s recently announced the release of the spicy McMuffin on July 8th for a limited time only. This move comes in as they celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the iconic Egg McMuffin.
As you know, the Egg McMuffin is one of the most popular sandwiches that they serve. So it’s only natural for them to elevate it even more to please the fans.
And currently the new spicy lineup will offer three variations of the spicy McMuffin.
- The Spicy Egg McMuffin
- The Spicy Sausage McMuffin
- The Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg
These new breakfast sandwiches will still have the same ingredients our taste buds love such as melty cheese, a freshly cracked cage free egg, Canadian bacon, and a delicious buttered and toasted English muffin, but with a brand new component for the sauce.
The flavors from the ingredients mentioned before will then be lifted to a new level with the help of McDonald’s new signature Spicy Pepper Sauce.
It is important to know that McDonald’s during the release statement only mentioned that the spicy lineup was going to be available starting July 8th for a limited time, but never really discussed exactly how long these will be available.
New Items To Try At McDonald’s
McDonald’s tends to be very innovative with entrées and products in general that will help bring customers from all over. Let us look at some of the recently released items that fans of McDonald’s should keep a lookout for
The Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal
Fans and collectors of McDonald’s items will be happy to know that they recently released a Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal for everyone to try. And what makes this meal so special is that it features one of 21 mini toys which are inspired by what families see at their local McDoanld’s each and every time they visit.
The toys included will vary from a teeny register, tiny fries, among many other items. This will be sure to bring smiles on the faces of children and even adults that are collectors.
Officially being released on July 1st, fans everywhere will definitely be flocking to their local fast food giant to try to get their hands on these.
The Return Of The Snack Wrap
Starting July 10, McDonald’s will officially bring back our beloved snack wraps! Back then it was impossible not to see the snack wrap in everyone’s hands. And this time around, due to popular demand, it is finally making a comeback.
However, this time the Snack Wraps will be a bit different.
In fact, the main ingredient which is the chicken strip is slightly changed to make cooking it a much faster and easier experience to do. Plus, it will be available in two flavors, spicy and ranch.
Both flavors of Snack Wraps will include one chickens trip, topped with shredded lettuce, cheese, and everything wrapped inside of a soft flour tortilla.
Hope you’re excited because it is about to get tasty here.
New Daily Double Burger
One of the most exciting releases so far this Summer season is the debut of the brand new Daily Double Burger.
While this may sound very similar to the daily double option on the game show Jeopardy, McDonald’s is not playing any games as their new Daily Double Burger entrée will be available within participating locations until the end of this year.
McDonald’s even tested this burger in their Chicago, Miami, and Seattle locations, and thankfully the demand was definitely there.
This burger is made with two 100 percent beef patties and for it to be offered on their McValue menu is a key factor in driving fans to get their hands on it. Officially debuting on July 22nd, the pricing may vary from one location to another, but customers can expect to pay around $6 to $7 for the burger.
Still Craving A Spicy Sandwich
If your mind is still set on trying out some spicy sandwiches then check out some of these options from various local fast food restaurants to satisfy those cravings.
McDonald’s Spicy Deluxe McCrispy
This is one of the all time favorite items at McDonald’s which offers a southern style fried chicken fillet topped off with a spicy pepper sauce on a toasted potato roll. Released earlier on March 13th of 2023, a common theme all the fans can relate to is that sandwich lives up to its name.
When its freshly made, you can run a plastic knife around the patty and hear how crisp is it. Then as if that was not enough, each bite has juices dripping from the patty alone. It is no wonder this sandwich has become a top tier instant favorite item from their entire menu.
You can enjoy this with a combo of their World Famous Fries, and a large refreshing coke for $8.39 – $8.99.
Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Believe it or not this classic spicy sandwich was originally introduced nationwide 30 years ago in 1995. It has withstood against many of its competitors and still exists as a permanent menu item.
Overtime, the development and creativity department at Wendy’s has made minor adjustments to the batter and overall flavor profile still leaving it as a highly desirable sandwich to satisfy the spicy cravings.
This sandwich offers a juicy thick chicken breast that has been marinated and breaded in their own unique, fiery blend of peppers and spices to deliver home the flavor. A combo meal is available with fries and drink for $12.19 (prices may vary by location).
Chick-Fil-A Spicy Deluxe Sandwich
This sandwich is probably one of the biggest reasons why the Chicken Wars have started. After all, it was between Chick-Fil-A and Popeyes on who had the best chicken. People from all over the country literally could not decide since both was equally as good.
But for us, we definitely believe the Chick-Fil-A sandwich is the clear winner here.
It offers a boneless breast of chicken seasoned with a spicy blend of peppers, hand breaded, cooked in peanut oil, served on a toasted, buttery bun with dill pickle chips, lettuce, tomato, and Pepper Jack cheese.
Simply biting into this sandwich brings so much bliss and joy to your tastebuds that you will probably be craving for another one soon after.
You can typically get this in a combo meal with some waffle fries and a drink for around $12 – $15 (prices may vary by location).
Food Senpai’s Thoughts
McDonald’s is ready to spice up your mornings and we here at Food Senpai are counting down the days until the Spicy McMuffin lineup launches. What a way to honor the 50 year anniversary then by revamping and reintroducing the spicy variations of the McMuffin.
We feel McDoanld’s has a great marketing strategy which stems from them listening to the demands of their customers, just like the upcoming return of their snack wraps.
And just like many McDonald’s fans, we will be sure to set our calendars for the morning of July 8th to try out this line-up after which you should keep a lookout for a review from us.
