Earlier this week, the second-largest fast food chain in the world, Burger King, released its third quarter 2015 numbers to show great success, partially due to their new focus on fewer and better menu items, like the comeback of one of its favorites - now, featuring a new version with the Buffalo Chicken Fries!
BK has been seriously stepping up its game when it comes to its popular resurfaced item, having released the Fiery version of these fries last August after the permanent readdition - and now, for a limited time only, the Buffalo Chicken Wings get a round in selected stores.
According to Fortune, the new Buffalo Chicken Fries will be seasoned with Buffalo spices instead of being dipped into the sauce, which means it's a fairly neater experience than just ending up pouring sauce all over yourself.
"We knew there had to be a better way to Buffalo so we took the same flavors found in traditional messy wings and innovated on it the BK way to create Buffalo Chicken Fries," said North America Chief Marketing Officer Eric Hirschhorn in a recent press release on Market Watch about the Burger King Buffalo Wings. "It sets your fingers free from mess while allowing for better dipping and easier handling."
Business Insider reports that chicken fries of all nature have turned into one of the key menu items for the fast food chain after they came back last spring, with BK's parent company, Restaurant Brands International, saying that part of the company's recent growth had been due to the great effects of the Fiery Chicken Fries from last summer.
Could this second endeavor, the Buffalo Chicken Fries, mean that the company's planning on releasing seasonal versions of this popular menu item?
Now, one thing is certain, the most popular boy band in the world will be happy, as it has been reported that the decision to bring back the chicken fries had been partly due to a shout-out from One Direction.
The new Buffalo Chicken Fries are available at $2.89 in participating locations, and dipping sauces available for them are the chicken fries one, BBQ, honey mustard, sweet & sour, Buffalo, Zesty and Ranch - available while supplies last!
