If you're a fan of spicy things, you're in luck, as McDonald's has announced its first-ever UK collaboration with an iconic brand to create their spiciest burger yet.

McSpicy - the burger we know and love - is returning, with a scorching twist. And it's extra exciting for UK fans as this marks a historic moment. For the first time ever, the fast food chain is teaming up with the iconic Frank's RedHot.

The tastebud-tingling burger, which already packs a punch, is rising to a whole new level, with a huge kick and taste sensation that will blow your mind.

The McSpicy x Frank's RedHot features a hot and spicy 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy coating, jalapeños - and the never seen in the UK before Frank's RedHot Mayo - all presented in a sesame seed bun.
