McSpicy is the name used by the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's for burgers in various markets. In Singapore, a chicken burger called the McSpicy is the chain's top-selling burger.[1]

Chicken leg burger

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 Chicken Burger is sold in India as part of a range of products using the McSpicy name.[13]

A McSpicy Deluxe, with cheese and tomato, was sold in Singapore,[14] while a burger of the same name is sold in Vietnam with tomato.[15]

Other uses of the McSpicy name

The Lamb McSpicy was launched in the UK in May 1999 for a promotional period.[16] In 2021, McDonalds UK launched a burger called the McSpicy, but made with chicken breast in a crispy coating, lettuce and a creamy sauce.[17]

In South Korea the McSpicy Shanghai Burger was developed specifically for the Korean market;[18] it is also made with chicken breast.[19]

In India, McDonald's launched the McSpicy Chicken Burger, McSpicy Paneer Burger, McSpicy Chicken Wrap and McSpicy Paneer Wrap in 2011.[13] The McSpicy Chicken Burger is made from chicken thigh.[20] After its introduction, the McSpicy Paneer Burger was so popular that restaurants sold out every week.[21] In May 2020, McDonald's India added a fried chicken product to its menu using the McSpicy name: McSpicy Fried Chicken.[22]

In May 2017, a vegetarian McSpice burger was introduced in Norway; without the cheese it is vegan-friendly.[23]
