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

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

For the first time ever, Frank\u2019s RedHot Mayo dip<\/strong> – the same that’s 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’s says, ‘Whether it’s McNuggets, fries, or even an apple pie – yes, really – lovers of bold flavours can now spice up the entire menu with this creamy, tangy, and fiery mayo.’<\/p>\n

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

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

Like its first release, the McSpicy Frank’s RedHot will feature 100% chicken breast in a ‘hot and crispy coating’.<\/p>\n

The burger will be topped with lettuce, cheese made with Emmental, jalape\u00f1os, slivered onions, and, of course, Frank’s RedHot Mayo, 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

When will McSpicy Frank’s RedHot be released in the UK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Spice fans should assemble outside their local McDonalds on May 7, 2025<\/strong>, for the official return of the McSpicy.<\/p>\n

The burger-only price will \u00a35.99, with a medium meal costing \u00a37.99, and the dip only setting you back just 50p (though, prices may vary across UK restaurants).<\/p>\n

You can also gain Double Rewards Points when you buy the McSpicy Frank\u2019s RedHot\u202f\u202fvia the McDonald\u2019s App.<\/p>\n

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

Another commenter, @surreysmoking chose to simply call it ‘utterly genius’, while @tashajiujitsu said ‘this will be incredible’.<\/p>\n

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

However, Reddit user @GiveItARestYhYh described it as having ‘a nice level of spice’ going on to say, ‘Not challenging at all, but actually left a glow’.<\/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’s RedHot<\/a>, and it’s fair to say that it divided opinion.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle reporter Courtney said, ‘Heat 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’d give it a solid 5\/5. McDonald’s did exactly what they set out to do with this one.<\/p>\n

However, social producer Torin wasn’t such a fan, adding: ‘As a McDonald’s 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’s executive editor Richard sat firmly in the middle, saying: ‘I wouldn’t say it’s blown my mind, but it’s definitely spicier than anything I’ve had from McDonald’s before. All in all a tasty treat that has hit the spot and I wouldn’t shy away from having another one.’<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
