Burger King unveiled an ultra-spicy chicken dish that is sure to knock you out of your seat. The new menu offering is an updated version of the chain's iconic 'Chicken Fries,' which made a return to the Burger King menu earlier this year. While this new dish may look familiar, it packs a much more powerful punch than its predecessor.
The new 'Fiery Chicken Fries' are made from white meat chicken, which has been shaped into long strips and then deep-fried. The chicken is covered with a unique batter that contains a peppery mix of cayenne, black pepper and other unnamed spices. The ultra-spicy chicken dish is served in an intimidating package, which features a cartoon chicken wearing a flame-emblazoned luchador mask.
If you're brave enough to try them, the Fiery Chicken Fries are available at participating Burger King restaurants for a limited time.
