Hot Ones, renowned for its fiery interviews where guests test their heat tolerance with increasingly spicy sauces, inspires
fans to challenge their spice limits with co-created products—one of the latest introducing a trio of McDonald's x Hot Ones sauces for nuggets.
While Hell Piñata is a mayonnaise-based sauce with smoky chipotle flavors and the mildest of the bunch at 10,000 Scoville units, Thaï-toi cranks up the heat with an Asian-inspired sweet and sour profile with ginger, lemongrass and 70,000 Scoville units. Finally, the spiciest nugget sauce of the trio is truly for the boldest hot sauce fans, with Embrase-moi taking the form of a barbecue sauce with habanero peppers and over 200,000 Scoville units.
Each sauce promises to change the way customers enjoy Chicken McNuggets or Veggie McPlant Nuggets.
