Product Description
The McSpicy burger sold in Singapore,[2][3] Hong Kong,[4][5] the Philippines[6] and Indonesia[7] contains a spiced fried-chicken cutlet made of leg meat, accompanied by lettuce and mayonnaise.[2] The burger was introduced in Singapore in 1999.[8]
In October 2020, the burger was introduced as a permanent menu item in Australia after initially being brought in temporarily earlier in the year.[9][10] The burger has also been sold in McDonald's global headquarters restaurant in Chicago, on a rotating basis.[11][12]
A McSpicy Deluxe, with cheese and tomato, was sold in Singapore,[13] while a burger of the same name is sold in Vietnam with tomato.[14] In South Korea the McSpicy Shanghai Burger was developed specifically for the Korean market;[15] it is made with chicken breast.[16]
In India, McDonald's launched the McSpicy Chicken Burger, McSpicy Paneer Burger, McSpicy Chicken Wrap and McSpicy Paneer Wrap in 2011.[17] The McSpicy Chicken Burger is made from chicken thigh.[18] After its introduction, the McSpicy Paneer Burger was so popular that restaurants sold out every week.[19] In May 2020, McDonald's India added a fried chicken product to its menu using the McSpicy name: McSpicy Fried Chicken.[20]
In May 2017, a vegetarian McSpice burger was introduced in Norway; without the cheese it is vegan-friendly.[21]
