If you've ever wished you could enjoy the rich taste of butter chicken in sandwich form, now you can thanks to Burger King's new Butter Chicken Crispy Sandwich.
A slight deviation from the chain's signature Crispy Chicken Sandwich, the new Butter Chicken Crispy Sandwich starts with a crispy-fried chicken breast filet topped with slices of white onion and a rich, savory butter chicken sauce. The whole thing is then served on a toasted potato bun. You also have the option to kick the heat up a notch by swapping the regular chicken breast filet for a spicy chicken filet. Even more existing, you can enjoy the same butter chicken sauce on poutine.
The new Butter Chicken Crispy Sandwich is available now for a limited time, but only from Burger King locations in Canada.
