Burger King fans are in for a treat, with the fast food chain announcing its biggest menu shakeup in years, featuring new additions available from today, May 20.
The star of the new menu, shared exclusively with Metro, is the all-new succulent Kansas BBQ Chicken Fries. Potato fries are so over, now you can enjoy chicken strips shaped like fries in a crispy golden batter that promises a ‘sweet and smoky’ taste.
The fries, which cost £5.49 for six pieces, are a twist on the Doritos Extra Flamin’ Hot Chicken Fries and the Tangy Cheese Chicken Fries that fans have tried previously.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there, because there’s also a brand new burger on the scene. The BBQ Chicken Stacker consists of chicken, bacon, onion rings, mayo, BBQ sauce and cheese sauce.
If you can’t decide between the two offerings, why not try the Kansas BBQ King Box, which features the new burger, alongside a four piece chicken fries, regular fries and a drink – all for just £5.99.
That’s clucking good value if you ask us. What’s better is these items are on the menu for the foreseeable, so you’ve got plenty of time to give them a try.
The comeback we’ve been waiting for
It’s not just new inventions that are on the menu today. The Gourmet Kings Bacon Caesar collection is making a comeback, after appearing on the menu last summer but disappearing on June 3rd.
This includes the Bacon Caesar Angus burger for £8.19, made with 100% Aberdeen Angus Beef, topped with smoked bacon, oak smoked cheddar, crispy onions, fresh rocket and garlic caesar sauce for a ‘rich garlicy flavour’.
When it was announced last year fans couldn’t contain their excitement, dubbing the new creation: ‘The surprise we’ve all been waiting for.’
Alternatively you can get the Bacon Caesar Crispy Chicken burger for the same price, or there’s some Bacon Caesar Loaded King Fries (£4.79) for you to get your hands on too.
One fan dubbed the chicken burger ‘beautiful’ giving it a nine out of 10 score for tastiness.
If you’re tempted by the thought of some garlicy treats at home, then nab yourself some Bacon Caesar Loaded Nuggets which are available only on home delivery, not in store.
They’ll set you back a handsome £7.49 though, but can we really put a price on satisfying our cravings?
The Spicy Mayo range got a makeover
If you’re a sucker for spice, the Spicy Mayo Double Whopper (£8.99), a twist on Burger King’s classic staple, is back on the menu after initially being introduced in 2023.
In every bite you’ll get two flame-grilled beef patties, crunchy pickle slices, fresh onions, lettuce, and tomatoes stuffed between a toasted sesame bun and garnished with a special blend of sweet ketchup, creamy and spicy mayo, and cheese.
Not one for beef? Don’t worry because the there’s a Spicy Mayo version of the iconic Chicken Royale for £7.69 too, which has also been brought back after being available for a limited time only.
Buy one get one free
In celebration of this delicious menu shakeup Burger King is rolling out its buy one get one free deal on some of its new offerings.
This deal applies to the Gourmet Kings Bacon Caesar collection from May 20 to May 22, so you better be quick.
