McDonald’s Korea released its new McCrispy Classic Burger and McCrispy Deluxe Burger on Thursday, expanding its chicken sandwich offerings. 
 
Both use meat from chicken thighs and drumsticks, flavored with spicy Cajun seasoning. Rather than using traditional McDonald’s sesame-seed buns, the new sandwiches use brioche potato buns, which are advertised by the company and being slightly sweeter and chewier.
 

The Classic Burger is a simple sandwich with a large piece of crispy chicken, diced onions and a sweet and smoky sauce. The Deluxe Burger is similar, but has additional slices of lettuce and tomato tossed in.  
 
The sandwiches are sold only in Korea.  
 
McDonald’s Korea hopes the new products can be as popular as the McSpicy Shanghai Burger, one of its best-selling chicken sandwiches. The company says the sandwiches use different parts of the chicken, with the McSpicy Shanghai Burger using chicken breast fillets.
 
The Classic Burger costs 5,600 won ($4.40) and a meal sells for 6,800 won. The Deluxe Burger is 6,400 won and costs 7,600 for a meal. 
 
The sandwiches are advertised by Jonathan Thona Yiombi, TV personality and YouTuber who runs the channel Jonathan, which has  670,000 subscribers. The YouTuber previously worked at a McDonald’s branch in Jinwol-dong, Gwangju, and was chosen as a spokesperson due to his experience.
