McDonald’s Spicy Chicken McNuggets Return for a Limited Time
The Golden Arches is adding its fan-favorite Spicy Chicken McNuggets back to the menu. These are breaded in a crispy tempura coating and flavorfully spiced with a blend of aged cayenne and chili pepper. They are available in 6, 10, 20, and 40 piece orders and would likely pair nicely with the Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce (more on that here) if you want to really kick them up. As with the preivous times these appeared on the menu, they will be around for a limited time only. You can read my review of them here.
KFC Sauces Up Its Nuggest with Two Spicy Flavors
Not to be outdone in the chicken nugget department, KFC is bringing back “saucy nuggets”, and two of the flavors deliver a kick:
NEW Honey Sriracha: A sweet heat sauce using a blend of red chili peppers, garlic and honey. Playing into the demand for sweet heat flavor, this sauce is for you if you have a little bit of sweetness plus a little bit of heat in you.
RETURNING Nashville Hot: Smoky, spicy and crispy, with an even ratio of flavor and smokiness to heat that brings balance – it brings the heat for fans of spice.
Additional flavors available are Korean BBQ, Sticy Chicky Sweet ‘n Sour, and Georgia Gold. These are available in stores now and they have not been pegged as limited-time-only items (yet).
SunChips Celebrates the Solar Eclipse
The full solar eclipse is on the way on April 8th, and SunChips is celebrating by adding a spicy new combination of flavors available for a very limited time only. They are calling these the Solar Eclipse edition and following is the official description:
Pineapple Habanero and Black Bean Spicy Gouda blends ingredients reminiscent of sunny skies and bright days ahead while nodding to the moon with a cheesy touch.
These will only be available during the 4 minutes and 27 seconds of the solar eclipse and you can enter to win your bag during that time at SunChipsSolarEclipse.com.
Tabasco Adds a New Buffalo-Style Sauce
Tabasco is changing things up by adding a new Buffalo-Style Wing Sauce. They describe this as tangy, garlicky, and savory with the right amount of heat, and it comes in an 8.6 oz squeeze bottle because it is thicker than the previous Buffalo sauce they offered (there is no word on whether that will still be available). It is available in stores now and should be a permanent item as long as the sales hold up.
