They come in six-piece orders as well as orders of 10, 20 and 30.
The dish, which first landed on the fast-food chain's menu in September 2020 has been "a fan-favorite menu item," McDonald's said in a press release.
Spicy Chicken McNuggets, which made several limited time stints on the menu since 2020, were the first flavor McDonald's USA introduced to the McNugget since the product made its debut in 1983.
