History[edit | edit source]

The McSpicy was first introduced in Singapore in 1999. It quickly gained popularity due to its unique blend of spices and crispy chicken patty. Following its success in Singapore, the McSpicy was rolled out to other markets, including India, China, and Hong Kong.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The McSpicy consists of a breaded and fried chicken patty seasoned with a blend of spices. It is typically served with fresh lettuce and mayonnaise in a toasted bun. The level of spiciness can vary depending on the region, with some countries offering a milder version to cater to local tastes.

In India, the McSpicy is available in both chicken and vegetarian versions, catering to the dietary preferences of the local population. The vegetarian version uses a spicy paneer patty instead of chicken.
