McDonald’s is testing a much bigger burger: What we know

If there’s one thing McDonald’s knows how to do, it’s keep us coming back for more—and make utterly delicious food, of course. Typically, we’re taking return trips to the Golden Arches because we can’t get enough of its McFlurrys or burgers—and, more recently, its $5 meal deal.

McDonald’s Is Adding a Brand-New Meal to Menus

KFC’s Saucy Nuggets have only been around since March, but they’ve showcased quite a bit of flavor versatility since. Starting Aug. 12, the nuggets will feature three new flavors, including honey garlic, chipotle ranch, and mango habanero. They will join the lineup that already includes Korean BBQ, an original flavor, and Honey BBQ, which was added in June. The initial flavors of Honey Sriracha, Sticky Chicky Sweet ‘n Sour, Nashville Hot, and Georgia Gold are no longer available.
