McDonald's Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger Review

McDonald’s Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger Review

MacDonald’s had just launched a new creation burger named Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger on 1 Nov. It cost $6.25 for the burger and $8.00 for a meal.

They serve this new burger using Semolina buns. It consists a peppery chicken patty topped with tomato jalapeno flavour, sliced red capsicum, tomato, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, and drizzle with spicy tomato mayonnaise.

It is touted to be spicier than McSpicy Burger.

Let’s do the taste test and tell you whether it is as spicy as McSpicy Burger?

First look

It does not look as promising as what they have it advertised. The burger looks messy upon unwrapping and it does not smell any hint of spice at all.

Spice Level

I am a person who can’t take too spicy stuff. Out of 5 spice level, I would go for 2 or 3 the max. Hence, when I saw the spice level of the Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger was 3.5 out of 5, I got worried.

On the first bite, I don’t feel any kick at all. I can continue to bite and taste the burger without drinking any water. The level of spice showed on the box does not justify the level of spiciness in the burger. Even my young boy can even eat it without complaining spicy. If you had been to other places asking for the same level of spiciness, your tongue would burn and all you need is plentiful of water.

Unlike the McSpicy Burger, I can feel the spiciness when I bite on it. I would need to drink lots of water just to finish up the Burger.

Taste Test

The chicken patty was dry and taste just like the same chicken patty used in McChicken Burger. There were no yummy chicken chunks. Unlike the McSpicy, it comes with a juicy, spicy chicken patty. The spice level between these two burgers so far apart.

Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger Conclusion

I feel you can skip this new creation from MacDonald’s. It could never compare with McSpicy and would suggest you go for McSpicy instead. For price wise, McSpicy is also cheaper than Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger.
