Update (March 23, 2015):

Chicken fries are back! And Burger King says they’re back for good. Maybe it was our post that convinced BK to bring them back…or maybe it was the thousands (millions?) of chicken fry fans. It could have been either, really.

Chicken fries, the most perfect food Burger King has ever served was introduced in 2005 and discontinued in 2012. For a short time they offered a 36-piece party pack but the regular servings were six, nine, or twelve pieces. When you opened the container, the flip up lid had a place to hold your dipping sauce.

Fans have been begging for more of this fried chicken goodness on Twitter and Facebook. They were “rewarded” with their return for about a month in 2014.

Why does Burger King not serve this year-round when there is obviously a demand for them? We don’t have the answer to that but we can only assume they are working on a new menu option that is made with bitter tears of disappointment.
