As of today, Burger King will begin selling a new menu item called Chicken Fries Rings. While the fast food company already revolutionized the iconic chicken nugget with its Chicken Fries back in 2014, now it is upping the ante with ring-shaped chicken bites.
While they may look like onion rings at first glance, the new Chicken Fries Rings are actually vegetable-free. Instead, the side dish consists of all-white meat chicken formed into a ring shape and coated in a crispy breading. The unique preparation results in a nugget that is tender and juicy on the inside, with a crispy texture on the outside. To complement the dippable shape, the dish is also served with a choice of seven different dipping sauces.
The new menu item capitalizes on Burger King's popular Chicken Fries, which have continued to drive up the company's sales since they were introduced.
