Burger King Corp., starting July 18 at U.S. restaurants, will roll out a Fiery Menu that includes five new items with varying in levels of spice, the company announced Wednesday.
The Miami-based Burger King has offered spicy items before, such as Fiery Nuggets, Spicy Chicken Fries, and the Ghost Pepper Whopper. But the new menu offers spicy innovations in drinks and other items.
"We know that our guests crave spice packed full of flavor when they come to BK, but spice looks different for everybody," said Pat O'Toole, Burger King North America’s chief marketing officer, in a statement.
“We're excited to offer a range of products that appeal to everyone – from those who want just a little kick to those who can't get enough heat,” O’Toole said.
The limited-time menu features a “swicy” beverage, Fiery Strawberry & Sprite, with strawberry puree and what the company calls “Level One” spice. Suggested pricing is $2.69. a spokesperson said.
Other items include Fiery Mozzarella Fries (Spice Level Two). Available in four, eight, and 12 pieces, the new fry-shaped mozzarella sticks are filled with cheese and peppers that are fried until crispy and kicked up a notch with Fiery Calabrian pepper breading. Suggested pricing starts at $4.29.
The Fiery Bacon Whopper (Spice Level 3) features a quarter pound of grilled beef with crispy fiery-seasoned bacon, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and a fiery sauce. Suggested pricing is $6.99.
Fiery Chicken Fries (Spice Level 4) are available in four, eight, and 12 pieces, with white meat chicken fries marinated with a seasoning and coated in a garlic and pepper breading. Suggested pricing starts at $3.99.
The Fiery Bacon Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Spice Level 5) features a crispy white meat breast filet coated with a Fiery glaze and topped with seasoned bacon, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and a Fiery sauce. Suggested pricing is $6.99.
Burger King also is now offering Hidden Valley Ranch dip cups, which are included with orders of the new Fiery Mozzarella Fries and Fiery Chicken Fries. That addition is permanent, the company said.
Burger King, founded in 1954, has more than 19,000 locations in more than 120 countries and U.S. territories. It’s a division of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International Inc., which also owns the Tim Hortons, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Firehouse Subs brands.
