Spicy McChickens Spiciness Levels

The McChickens were made spicy through new spicy mayonnaise sauces created by McDonald’s chefs.

These spicy sauces replace the regular non-spicy mayonnaise in the McChicken.

The spiciness level is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU) with the higher the units the more spiciness.

Spice ratings of each pepper, according to the Scoville scale, measure at:

  • Habanero Pepper = 100,000 – 350,000 SHU
  • Scotch Bonnet Pepper = 100,000–350,000 SHU
  • Ghost Pepper = Over 1,000,000 SHU

The Ghost Pepper is essentially 10x more spicy than the Habanero.
