Chicken fries are long, finger-sized strips of chicken coated in seasoned bread crumbs and fried. They were first launched as a special Burger King menu item in 2005, but earned permanent status in 2015.

BK Chicken Fries are a fried chicken product sold by the international fast-food restaurant chain Burger King. At the time of their introduction in 2005, the company had intended Chicken Fries to be one of their larger, adult-oriented products made with higher-quality ingredients than their standard menu items.

Our KING Fries are exactly how fries should be: made from fresh potatoes, golden in colour, and crisp. Enjoy them at their best with tangy Heinz ketchup or creamy mayo sauce.

Potatoes, Soybean Oil or Canola and Palm Oil, Modified Potato Starch, Rice Flour, Potato Dextrin, Salt, Leavening (Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Dextrose, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate added to preserve natural color.

The term chicken-fried comes from the manner in which the meat is breaded and cooked, which is similar to the preparation of fried chicken.

The chicken is meaty and there is a good ratio of breading to chicken. The fries are very flavorful and they don't need a sauce, but sending a default barbecue sauce would have been nice (you know, like McDonald's does.) They leave a little heat in the back and sides of the tongue and they are really easy to eat.

The South is the birthplace of American-style fried chicken. Scottish immigrants are sometimes credited with creating the recipe. Many, however, believe it was brought from Africa. We will unlikely ever know who invented the first American fried chicken.

Chicken, particularly breaded chicken, saw a serious shortage in 2021 which might explain why Burger King's chicken fries were the single most inflated menu item in the fast-food world.

They are wildly better than McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, but a little kid might find them over-spiced. Honestly, these are giving me a blast from the past because they taste like the old, misshapen BK chicken tenders from the 90s, that didn't look good but smoked McD's nuggets.

Chicken Fries begin with honest-to-goodness chicken breasts, surgically sliced into strips roughly the shape of french fries, only bigger. Then they're breaded and deep-fried. They're perfect for dipping. And, they're fun to eat.

First, fried chicken is bone-in chicken pieces from all parts of the bird that are coated in flour. Chicken-fried chicken, however, is a flattened chicken breast that is dredged in flour, then dunked into an egg and buttermilk wash, and then back into the flour again.
