Spicy Chicken McNuggets return for a limited time starting September 1

McDonald's announced that Spicy Chicken McNuggets will return for a limited time starting September 1, 2026, at participating U.S. restaurants. The item is offered in several package sizes, and fans can pair it with the new Mighty Hot Sauce. The return is a small menu event, but it adds to the company's push to win share in chicken, one of the three category targets in its NEXT plan.
