McDonald's Drenches Burgers in New BBQ Sauce

McDonald's Australia is set to re-launch its sought-after Dunked Korean Sticky BBQ sauce on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. This beloved sweet and spicy condiment, last available in December 2024, is now the star of a new, innovative burger line. The 'Dunked' range includes upgraded McCrispy and McSpicy burgers, featuring chicken fillets completely immersed in the distinctive Korean BBQ sauce for an unprecedented level of sauciness.

This culinary innovation marks a significant evolution for McDonald's menu, with Chief Marketing Officer Annabel Fribence highlighting the full dunking of chicken as a first for the brand. The sauce will also be available as a standalone dipping option. To commemorate this launch, McDonald's is partnering with the Harlem Globetrotters for an exclusive event in Sydney on Thursday, April 16, 2026, offering fans a chance to meet players and taste the new range.
