McDonald’s Korea has expanded its “Taste of Korea” series with a new menu inspired by Jinju peppers, introducing several limited-time items featuring the regional ingredient.

The lineup includes the Jinju Pepper Cream Cheese Beef Burger, Jinju Pepper Cream Cheese Chicken Burger, Jinju Pepper Spicy Sauce McNuggets Meal, and a breakfast-only Jinju Pepper Cream Cheese Muffin.

The new menu combines the mild heat of Jinju peppers with cream cheese to create a balance of spicy and creamy flavors.

The pepper sauce is also being offered as a dipping sauce for Chicken McNuggets.

The burgers are available daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., while the breakfast muffin is sold during morning hours.

The McNuggets meal with Jinju Pepper Spicy Sauce is available during breakfast service, although availability may vary by location.

The “Taste of Korea” promotion offers unique flavors and tastes of locally-inspired cuisine.

Previous promotions have included the “Changnyeong Garlic Burger” and a “Boseong Pork Burger”.
