Chicken has emerged as a key growth area for QSR and restaurant operators with specialist chicken brands including Popeyes, Wingstop and Slim Chickens expanding at pace and Pizza Express expanding into chicken with Mac & Wings and Domino’s launching CHICK ’N’ DIP.
Burger King’s new product is made with 100% chicken breast and coated in a seasoned breadcrumb coating. It will be available in three-, five- and eight-piece portions, priced from £5.99.
The launch is supported by three new sauces exclusive to Burger King: BK flame-grilled mayo, spicy smokehouse ketchup and BBQ mayo.
Burger King will also offer the tenders as part of a meal, with three- and five-piece options served with medium fries, a medium drink and a core dip, from £8.49.
A chicken sharebox will also be available, comprising four tenders, 12 nuggets, two premium dips and two core dips, from £10.49.
The chicken tenders will be available at participating Burger King restaurants nationwide, as well as through the brand’s app and delivery platforms.
