[Burger King's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-chicken-fries) Chicken Fries are one of the chain's most popular items and now it's serving up [Jalapeño](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-4) Chicken Fries for those who just can't get enough. The only catch is that this dish is only available in the UK.

Burger King's new Jalapeño Chicken Fries are similar to the original version in that they're made with 100 percent chicken breast. The chicken is then shaped into a slim, fry-like shape and coated in a crispy jalapeño seasoned breading. The result is a spicy chicken tender that's slim enough for dunking in the sauce of your choice.

Some fans may recognize the Jalapeño Chicken Fries from when they were briefly offered in the US. Now it appears that the UK version won't stick around for very long either.
