In true McDonald’s fashion, November is kicking off with not one, but two tasty promotions for nugget fans across the U.S. The chain recently announced that its popular Spicy Chicken McNuggets are back for a limited time.

Spicy Chicken McNuggets are back on the menu but only in certain parts of the country, including the greater Houston area.

Spicy Chicken McNuggets that is. The spicy nuggets – breaded in a crispy tempura coating and spiced with cayenne and chili pepper – are returning to the fast-food chain for the first time since being available regionally in 2022.

McDonald's spicy chicken nuggets are back in select stores for a limited time.

McDonald’s said participating markets include — but are not limited to — Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Memphis and New York. It does not appear Spicy Chicken Nuggets came back to Massachusetts. The nuggets will be available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Fast-food fans have made one flavor preference known loud and clear: They want menus to spice up offerings and tap into the Scoville scale to pack a chili pepper punch with everything from sandwiches to chicken nuggets.

The spicy version of the long-beloved Chicken McNuggets come on the heels of McDonald's latest chicken creation, the new Chicken Big Mac NBC Universal, Inc. One of McDonald's most popular menu items is about to get spicier -- at least in some cities.
