KFC's iconic burger is packed with the trademark Zinger fillet, luscious green lettuce leaves and a sauce that will blow your socks off.
The delicious dressing includes 11 chillies - including jalapeño, habanero and Carolina Reaper - to start a party in your mouth.
As fast food fans would expect, the Fiery Zinger Burger is supposed to take the top spot as the hottest item on the menu in Australia.
It is closely followed by its two Zinger siblings - the Supercharged Zinger Burger and the Classic Zinger.

Tami Cunningham, chief marketing officer at KFC Australia, said: "We know so many Aussies like their meals to pack a punch, so the Fiery Zinger Burger is perfect for fans looking to satisfy their heat cravings or test their limits.
"Delivering a fresh take on iconic KFC flavours, the hottest burger from the Zinger range is sure to delight Aussies with a unique KFC eating experience that truly brings the heat.
"Get in quick as you never know when it’ll be back again."
KFC customers can also turn up the heat with another item, but this time it's off the Secret Menu.

Those who enjoy the KFC Double may want to try the new Fiery Double, complete with two Zinger fillets to act as a bun.
Sandwiched in between is a mountain of bacon and cheese that is then smothered in KFC's Supercharged and 11 Chilli sauce.
You can grab both of the scrumptious snacks as meals or as part of larger box meals to get more bang for your buck.
Customers can add sides such as fries and gravy - or even more of the Colonel's fried chicken if they fancy.
The Fiery Zinger Burger won't stay around for long and is only on sale for a limited time between August 8 and September 4.
To grab one before it's too late, head down to a participating KFC restaurant or order on the KFC app.
Secret Menu items are also only accessible through the app.
Foodies in the US are also celebrating after KFC reintroduced an iconic meal deal after nearly a decade off the menu.
