McDonald's confirm Big Tasty is coming back with new flavour - but it won't stay for long

McDonald’s has revealed plans for the Big Tasty to return - with an exciting new flavour.

One of McDonald’s best-loved menu items, the burger is returning with a BBQ version, alongside the classic option.

Made with fresh 100% British and Irish beef, melty cheese made with Emmental, topped with tomato, lettuce, slivered onions and lashings of Big Tasty sauce, all on a sesame seed bun.

As the name says – it’s big, it’s tasty and available for a limited amount of time from March 16th.

The fast-food giant said the latest addition to the menu will also be accompanied by a few other favourites.

Alongside the Big Tasty range, the Homestyle Crispy Chicken burger will return, and the Chilli Cheese bites, Creme Egg McFlurry and Cadbury Caramel Mc Flurry.

The original will be priced at £4.89, while a version with bacon, or BBQ will be priced at £5.39.

The chilli cheese bites will be priced at £1.99, while the Homestyle Crispy Chicken burger will cost £4.39.
