MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BURGER KING® restaurants is flame-grilling the competition with a new sandwich that has 175% more beef than the Big Mac. Introducing the BIG KING XL sandwich, featuring more than 1/2 lb** of flame-grilled 100% beef, topped with melted American cheese, sliced onions, zesty pickles, crisp lettuce and our special savory sauce all on a toasted sesame bun.
Available at restaurants nationwide and starting today, the BIG KING XL sandwich will make guests want to swap their bread for beef—literally.
On January 18, guests can bring their expired MacCoins to select BURGER KING® restaurants in Chicago, IL to exchange them for a free BIG KING XL sandwich***. The McDonald’s MacCoins were distributed in 2018 for the 50th anniversary of the Big Mac, but as of December 31st these coins can no longer be redeemed for a Big Mac. Now that the MacCoins have expired, BURGER KING® is giving people one more day to use their MacCoins, but this time for the bigger, flame-grilled option.
The BIG KING XL sandwich is available at select restaurants nationwide for a limited time only with a recommended price of $5.59. The BIG KING XL sandwich is the latest hand crafted premium sandwich to join the King’s Collection. The collection includes flame-grilled, flavorful, handcrafted sandwich offerings such as the Bacon King, Double Quarter King and now the BIG KING XL Sandwich.
