Tried McDonald's Spicy Nuggets... worth it?

I recently tried the new spicy chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s. As a heat-seeker, I just had to give them a go. I ordered a cheeseburger and a six-piece nuggets (they won’t do a four-piece spicy for some reason). I also got a diet Coke. Along with the nuggets, they released the Mighty Hot Sauce, which I grabbed too. After trying the nuggets plain, I gotta say, they didn’t feel very spicy to me. The flavor is similar to the regular ones, so I wasn’t disappointed, but I was hoping for more heat. The Mighty Hot Sauce definitely adds some kick; it’s a bit vinegary and sweet, and has decent heat for a fast food sauce. Not super spicy for a heat-seeker, but good enough for most people. Would you guys recommend them? I feel like the sauce is a must if you want some spice. By the way, does anyone remember that habanero sauce from a while back? That stuff was really hot and super tasty… I’d love to see that back on the menu.

I tried them too. Honestly, I thought they were kinda bland without the sauce. :joy:

For real. The sauce makes a huge difference. Did you think the sauce was spicy enough?

Yeah, it was decent. Not mouth-burning, but definitely better than nothing.

I was expecting way more heat. They should have just kept the old habanero sauce.

Right? That sauce had some serious kick. I miss it.

Mighty Hot Sauce is great, but yeah, the nuggets need more spice. :sweat_smile:

I didn’t think the nuggets were spicy either. What’s up with that?

I guess they want to appeal to everyone, but come on… some heat would be nice.

I thought they were good, but yeah, I agree. Bring back the habanero sauce.

Does anyone actually like the Mighty Hot Sauce? I thought it was too sweet.

I kinda liked it. But yeah, it is on the sweeter side for sure. :man_shrugging:
