If you are the type of person who hacks menus, for instance, ordering chicken McNuggets with a cheeseburger or asking for an extra hash brown to add inside your McMuffin, McDonald's is taking a page from your book.

The Golden Arches announced Wednesday that starting Jan. 31 four new "hacked" menu items will be available for the first time.

"Our fans are always coming up with different ways to make a McDonald's meal uniquely their own. That's why, for the first time ever, we're spotlighting their creativity by officially debuting four fan-favorite creations on menus across the country for a limited time.

After reviewing an array of customer-favorite custom orders on social media, McDonald's chose the four following combinations and asked the self-identified menu hackers to introduce them.

"I've been saying for years that the Hash Brown goes inside of the Sausage McMuffin with Egg … that extra little crispy bite is the real breakfast cheat code," Sarah Sandlin said of the breakfast order.

The Crunchy Double

"It's simple, yet so tasty...Chicken McNuggets topped with a Double Cheeseburger, then drizzled with Tangy Barbeque Sauce. Order it now and thank me later," Greg Simms said of the mashup.

The Land, Air & Sea

"A McChicken, stacked on a Big Mac, stacked on a Filet-O-Fish… it's the flavor I never knew I needed, until I needed it. Go big baby," creator Julian Broadway said.

The Surf + Turf

"Sometimes I'm craving the flaky crunch of a Filet-O-Fish, sometimes I want the juiciness of a Double Cheeseburger, and sometimes I want both," PJ Mattingly said. "So why choose?"

"This campaign shows that it has never been 'our menu,' the menu belongs to our fans. We're excited to celebrate them in a bigger way than ever before by putting their delicious hacks -- as seen in social media -- on our menus," Jennifer Healan, vice president, U.S. marketing, brand content and engagement for McDonald's USA said.

The Hash Brown McMuffin, the Crunchy Double and the Land, Air & Sea are available at participating restaurants nationwide via carry-out, at the Drive Thru, on the McDonald's app or through McDelivery. The Surf + Turf is available to order exclusively on the McDonald's app and via McDelivery.
