Aldi shoppers go wild for spicy dupe of McDonald’s favourite that was axed from menus last year
ALDI'S take on a McDonald's favourite is back in stores.
Inspired by the fast-food eatery's McSpicy, the supermarket's Spicy Chicken Stack burger can be found in the freezer aisle.
The fiery chicken fillet is coated in breadcrumbs and topped with a slice of burger cheese and crispy hash brown and can be cooked in an air fryer or oven.
It was spotted and posted by New Foods UK Facebook page and followers were quick to hit the like button.
The burger costs just £1.49 and you can find your nearest Aldi by using the online store finder.
It might also be worth calling your local branch to see if they have any in stock.

The McSpicy was only on McDonald's menus for a limited time only, but the chain has released a new version - and it's even hotter.
The Extra McSpicy joined menus on February 7 and Maccies has said it will be the "spiciest and tastiest" burger yet.
The secret ingredient to the mouth-tingling kick is Frank's RedHot mayonnaise.
The twist on the original burger will be available in all UK and Ireland restaurants, at drive-thrus and via home delivery apps.

The latest iteration of the burger comes after the McSpicy was first introduced back in 2021.
McDonald's made the McSpicy a permanent addition to the menu last year, but fans haven't been overly impressed with the flavour.
Diners branded it "underwhelming" and "mild" so Maccies has decided to up its game with the new addition.
The original McSpicy was one of six major items that was removed from grills in October last year.
The Chicken Big Mac, which has appeared on menus twice since it was launched in 2022, was also binned off.
Fans also bid farewell to the Philly Cheese Stack.
The burger featured two Irish beef patties with a cheese sauce, two cheese slices, onions and pickles.
It was first launched in October 2023 but left the menu at the end of November in a blow to fans.
The popular Mozzarella Dippers and Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry will also be leaving restaurants.
