The global chain, which has recently been tinkering with its iconic menu, announced that the Big Mac would be also available in a mini and grand size for a few weeks in early 2017.

A spokesperson said the use of Sriracha sauce now marks the first time the chain has switched out the ingredients in the sandwich for a new flavour profile. She told : “This is a milestone for McDonald’s.”

The Big Mac has been caught up in a popular online craze, where McDonald's fans "hack the menu" and change around ingredients to make up new burgers, or make the price cheaper.
