But it's the two other new additions that have been catching shoppers' attentions - the Katsu crispy and Katsu grilled wrap.
The wraps combine crispy or grilled chicken with Katsu sauce, alongside crispy onions, crunchy cucumber and fresh lettuce, all wrapped in a warm, toasted tortilla.
Shoppers can get the wraps for £3.49 as a single item or £5.29 as part of a meal, or £1.99 as a single item on Wednesdays.

It's not the first time McDonald's has launched a Katsu-themed menu item.
McDonald's biggest burger make-over in decades
The fast food behemoth brought limited edition Katsu curry chicken nuggets to menus in early 2021, but only for six weeks.
Fans were left gutted after the nuggets, made with crispy Katsu curry panko breadcrumbs, were ditched from menus.
What else is on the new McDonald's menu?
McDonald's regularly updates its menu, usually every six weeks.
The new items and prices for the menu shake-up from January 6 are:
- new katsu crispy or grilled wrap - £3.49 single item, £5.29 with a meal and £1.99 on Wednesday
- new Milkyway McFlurry - £2.19
- new BBQ ranch stack burger - £5.19 single item, £6.99 with a meal
- McCrispy BBQ smokehouse - £5.79 single item, £7.49 with a meal
- mozzarella dippers - £2.39
The calories for the items are yet to be revealed.
The BBQ ranch stack burger comes with two 100% beef patties topped with cheese made with Emmental, lettuce, bacon, crispy onions, creamy ranch and sweet BBQ sauce, in a glazed sesame seed bun.
The Milkyway McFlurry combines soft serve dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars and malt flavoured pieces topped with chocolate sauce.
The BBQ smokehouse McCrispy is a returning item, after last being on menus in September when it was £5.59 or £7.49 as part of a meal.
The burger is made up of chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, all in a sourdough style sesame topped bun.
Meanwhile, the mozzarella dippers are also back on menus from next month after last being available in October.
The dippers consist of mozzarella and emmental cheese with a smoky caramelised onion-flavoured breadcrumb coating.
Of course, what goes on must come off and a number of current menu items will be axed in January.
The Terry's Chocolate Orange Pie, selling for £1.99, will be ditched while the cheesy McCrispy, from £5.99, will also be dropped.
Some returning items will also be taken off menus, including the popular Big Tasty and Big Tasty with bacon, on sale from £7.59.
