Aldi selling dupe of sell-out McDonald's burger

Just as McDonald's brings back one of its cult classics in the McSpicy Chicken Burger, supermarket chain Aldi has launched its own version. And the Roosters Gastro Flamin' Hot Chicken Burger costs a fraction of the price.

The £4.29 McSpicy always goes down a treat with fans and is widely expected to be a sell-out choice on the fast food chain menu. But the Aldi version is a snip of the price at just £2.99.

Designed to fire up taste buds, the tantalisingly tasty Roosters burger contains two chicken breasts, tenderly spiced with herbs and a layer of crispy golden coating. The budget supermarket says McSpicy fans should be unable to set the two apart.

The supermarket says fans who are more inclined to opt for a wrap when visiting their favourite eatery will also be in for a treat. As it's released three new delicious options.

Meat lovers will enjoy the new BBQ chicken and bacon wrap, priced at £1.95, containing deliciously juicy pieces of seasoned chicken goujons, encased in a tangy BBQ sauce - flecked with tasty pepper and onion pieces. While the brand new piri piri chicken wrap, also priced £1.95, is filled with succulent pieces of chicken, coated in a mild chilli sauce and doused in a creamy garlic yoghurt.

And finally, a plant-based option sure to make veg lovers hap-pea, the spicy veggie wrap (£1.95, 194g) boasts delightful Mexican falafel pieces and warming chipotle spice. Smoky and sweet tomato salsa is complemented with a subtle chilli jam kick for the ultimate veg-tastic treat.

And finally, the supermarket says McDonald's fans who might be missing the chicken Big Mac are also in for a treat. With all the ingredients to create your own fakeaway stack costing £1.97 a burger.

The retailer says shoppers can start by shoppers can start by lightly toasting Aldi’s Specially Selected Seeded Brioche Burger Buns (99p, 200g), before adding two crispy and succulent Roosters 2 Chicken Quarter Pounders (99p, 227g), melty Everyday Essentials 10 Mild Cheddar Slices (99p, 200g) and crunchy Nature’s Pick Iceberg Lettuce (46p). Finish with lashings of Bramwells Chunky Burger Sauce (79p, 250ml), which some shoppers say tastes just like Big Mac sauce.
