Things are about to get a little bit cheesy at Burger King with the launch of the chain's new Mozzarella Sticks. While the cheese-stuffed appetizer has made appearances on a number of international Burger King menus, this summer marks the first time the chain is launching the "cheesy, dippable sticks" nationwide in the US.
Burger King's new Mozzarella Sticks consist of mozzarella cheese coated in a crispy breading with Italian-style seasonings. The whole thing is then deep-fried until golden brown and served as a pack of four, alongside a serving of savory tomato-based marinara dipping sauce for dipping. As the brand explains on its website, "Mozzarella sticks are always a great snack or addition to your BK Combo."
