Burger King Nigeria added three new sides that could be paired with burgers: fried sweet potato cubes, fried plantain cubes, or yam fries, following a consumer survey done by the brand and a recent social media poll.
The majority requested more than just fries as a side item that reflected the local taste of Nigerians.
With the new sides, Burger King Nigeria not only satisfied their customers’ cravings but also shown their commitment to embracing the local culture.
The Fried Plantain cubes, which come in two sizes and cost between N1,000 and N1,200, are made of ripe plantains that pair well with any of their burgers.
Those looking for an alternative to their regular fries could order the fried sweet potato cubes for as low as N750 to N1,000.
Meanwhile, the yam fries are shaped like French fries but with thicker cuts, and are ideal for dipping in sauces, including the BK BBQ dip, Curry dip, and Hot sauce. They also go for as low as N750 to N1,000.
One of the best parts about the new sides launch is that they have also introduced a lunch hour deal. This way, you can have a full meal at an affordable price of N3,500.
Burger King Nigeria Marketing Coordinator, Victoria Buzugbe, said introducing sides peculiar to the Nigerian market was a no-brainer.
