The new King’s Hawaiian Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a tasty twist on a fan-favorite item. The new sandwich starts with a hand-breaded crispy chicken fillet, which has been fried until golden brown. The chicken is then topped with crunchy and creamy fried avocado slices, Buffalo’s medium sauce, and pickles, all on a fluffy King’s Hawaiian Bun. In fact, customers now have the option to upgrade any sandwich or Fatburger on the chain's menu to a King’s Hawaiian Bun for a small charge.
