Aldi Launches NEW Spicy Chicken Nuggets That Rivals McDonald's

• Aldi launches spicy chicken nuggets, priced £3 less than McDonald’s.
• The 12-pack Oakhurst Spicy Chicken Nuggets are available for £1.99.
• Aldi’s new offerings also include chicken strips and skewers in various flavors.

Craving those spicy chicken nuggets from McDonald’s that vanished from the UK menu back in 2022? Well, Aldi's latest culinary adventure might just be the answer to your prayers. Starting today, the supermarket giant is rolling out its very own version of Spicy Chicken Nuggets, and let me tell you, the price tag is as tempting as the nuggets themselves.

Priced at a mere £1.99 for a box of 12, Aldi’s Oakhurst Spicy Chicken Nuggets are making waves, not just for their flavor but for being a steal compared to McDonald’s £4.89 box of nine. It’s a deal that's hard to beat, especially for those of us who have been dreaming of the day spicy nuggets made a comeback.

But that’s not all folks, Aldi is turning up the heat with more than just nuggets. They’re also dishing out Oakhurst Chicken Strips for £2.69, coated in crispy breadcrumbs and packed with tender chicken goodness. And for those who like a bit of variety, there are Roosters Chicken Skewers for £2.99, available in BBQ, Teriyaki, and Salt & Chilli flavors. Whether it’s a quick snack or the main event of your meal, Aldi's got your back.

Becky Pemberton from The Sun recently shared the scoop on Aldi’s fiery new release, noting that these nuggets are part of a larger launch that also includes sweet chilli and BBQ dips. It's all part of Aldi's plan to spice up its selection with tasty treats that won’t break the bank.

Remember the buzz around McDonald’s spicy McNuggets when they first hit the scene in 2019? Despite a mixed reception regarding their heat level, fans were gutted when they disappeared. Well, it seems Aldi's taken note and is now serving up its own hot take on the fast-food favorite.

As we dive into this nugget nirvana, let's not forget McDonald’s is not standing still either. They’re gearing up for a menu shake-up that includes a bevy of new and returning items, like the much-anticipated Lotus Biscoff Frappe. Starting April 17, the fast-food chain is adding a sprinkle of excitement with offerings like the Biscoff McFlurry and a deluxe Quarter Pounder, among others.

So, as Aldi rolls out its spicy chicken challengers in stores and via Click & Collect, the question on everyone's lips is: will these nuggets dethrone the fast-food king's offering? Only time, and taste buds, will tell.

Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, commented, "Aldi's spicy chicken nuggets are a game-changer for budget-conscious foodies and a testament to the supermarket's commitment to offering quality, affordable alternatives to popular fast food options. It's an exciting addition for shoppers looking to spice up their meals without emptying their wallets."
