McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) is switching up the menu with a new Siracha Big Mac option.

Siracha Big Mac, McDonald's Corporation, MCDMcDonald’s Corporation is testing the new Siracha Big Mac out at 126 of its locations in Ohio. The major change here is that the fast food company is using a siracha-based sauce in place of its normal Big mac sauce. The rest of the sandwich will remain the same.

McDonald’s Corporation won’t just be including the new sauce on its Siracha Big Mac. The chain will also allow customers to order siracha sauce for dipping their french fries and chicken nuggets in, reports Business Insider.

McDonald’s Corporation said that if testing of the new Siracha Big Mac goes well, it may introduce it to the test of the United States. MCD also tested out siracha sauce earlier this year in Southern California and Seattle. It called this variant of the sauce  “Awesome Sauce.”

“Offering the addition of Sriracha to our Big Mac Special Sauce was a fun way for our culinary innovations team to think outside the box and continue to answer the call of our customers who are always looking for the next great innovation in food experience and taste,” Scott Nickell, McDonald’s Corporation’s Central Ohio Co-op president, told FoodBeast.

This also isn’t the first time that McDonald’s Corporation has tested out a change to the Big Mac in 2016. It tested out two new sizes –Grand Mac and Mac Jr.– earlier this year. This test took place in Ohio and Forth Worth, Texas. Now the chain is planning to introduce the new Big Mac sizes to the rest of the United States in early 2017.

MCD stock was up slightly as of Noon Wednesday.
