Burger King announces addition of Doritos Chilli Heatwave Chicken Fries to the menu

Burger King quashed the suspicion of many customers that its new food item is just an April Fool’s Day announcement. The fast-food chain confirmed that its Doritos Chilli Heatwave Chicken Fries is real and now available in its stores across the United Kingdom.

Burger King said that the new chicken fries is set to be officially added to the menus nationwide starting Tuesday, April 4. As per The Scotsman, many customers thought that the Whopper Burger maker is just joining the other major brands in the celebration of April Fools’ Day, but it turned out that its new food item is not fake news.

Likewise, while McDonald’s “released” the Big McNugget Boot that emerged to be just a practical joke designed for the annual custom on April 1st, Burger King’s Doritos Chilli Heatwave Chicken Fries is really coming this week.

Some of the comments left by customers who are questioning if Burger King’s new offering is indeed true include “This should be real!” and “April Fool! But I bet they would taste amazing so they better be real.”

Fortunately, the excitement of customers is not wasted as Burger King is adding the new Doritos fries to its menu. On Burger King UK’s website, the Chilli Heatwave Chicken Fries was described to be made with 100% juicy chicken breast and coated with crushed Doritos tortilla chips to give it the perfect crunch. To add the fiery taste, it was dusted with Doritos’ chili heatwave flavor.

It can be purchased in stores in a 9-piece pack that will also serve as a side to medium meal option. At any rate, the new menu is the second collaboration between Burger King and Doritos as they released the Whopper Doritos in March, which was well-received.
