A highly requested sauce is making a much-awaited comeback at McDonald's Australia stores - and the re-launch will see the condiment feature in a whole new, first-of-its-kind burger menu range.
Starting on Wednesday, April 15, the fast food giant will welcome back its popular Dunked Korean Sticky BBQ sauce, last enjoyed by diners in December 2024.
The sweet and spicy sauce was a hit when it previously appeared on the Macca's official menu two years earlier.
This time, though, the sauce is more than just a condiment - it's also the hero ingredient in two brand-new crispy chicken burgers that are unlike anything seen on the menu before.
The Dunked Korean Sticky BBQ chicken burger range includes an upgraded McCrispy and McSpicy, both containing a chicken fillet that has been thoroughly dunked, drenched and coated in the distinctive sauce. The result? A saucier chicken burger than ever before.

The Dunked Korean Sticky BBQ McCrispy levels up the original by generously dunking its 100 per cent Aussie chicken breast in the rich, sticky Korean BBQ sauce, then pairing it with fresh lettuce, creamy mayo and serving it in a toasted potato bun.
Meanwhile, the Dunked Korean Sticky BBQ McSpicy offers all the usual trimmings – fresh lettuce, creamy mayo and a sesame seed bun – but adds a piece of 100 per cent Aussie chicken dunked in a slightly spicier Korean sticky BBQ sauce.
McDonald's Australia's Chief Marketing Officer Annabel Fribence confirmed the new Dunked Korean Sticky BBQ Chicken Range 'marks the next chapter' in the evolution of their menu.
'We're known for being the home of sauce, and we're taking that one step further by fully dunking the chicken fillet in sauce – a first for Macca's,' she explained.
'It delivers a completely new burger experience as we continue pushing the boundaries of what customers expect from us.'
This extra-saucy burger range is designed to deliver maximum flavour and sauce in every bite.
But for those who prefer to keep their sweet and smoky Korean Sticky BBQ sauce on the side, it will still be on the menu as a standalone dipping sauce.

Annabel added, 'Bringing back Korean Sticky BBQ, one of Australia's most requested sauces, and delivering even more of it in every bite with Dunked is something we know Aussies are going to love.'
The Dunked range can be ordered via drive-thru, front counter, and the MyMacca's app nationwide from Wednesday, April 15.
To celebrate the new launch in true 'dunked' fashion, Macca's has teamed up with basketball legends The Harlem Globetrotters for a special one-hour exclusive live fan event in Sydney: Macca's at Dunked Live.
Sydneysiders are invited to register via Eventbrite for the chance to attend an event featuring The Harlem Globetrotters, who are famous for their gravity-defying trick shots, infectious energy and, of course, their epic dunks.

Kaylin 'Sunshine' West from the Harlem Globetrotters told Daily Mail: 'We're excited to bring the Harlem Globetrotters energy to Dunked Live and meet fans on the court.
'We'll be showing off some of our favourite tricks and getting everyone involved – and we've heard the new burgers are seriously saucy, so we can't wait to try them.'
Fellow Harlem Globetrotter Alex 'Moose' Weekes added that the live event would see them 'bringing the tricks, the energy and a few surprises'.
'We can't wait to see our Aussie fans bring their sauciest moves to match these deliciously saucy burgers.'
