The Wait Is Finally Over: The New Burger King® Hand-Breaded Ch’King™ Is Here, and It Might Be as Good as the Whopper®

We want our guests to decide, so starting June 3, when you order a hand-breaded Ch’King on the BK app or website, you can get a free Whopper*

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--We committed to not half a**ing our sandwich, and we meant it.

The new hand-breaded Ch’King is finally here and available nationwide starting June 3. And ok, sure, we could have just named it a chicken sandwich, but that’s just not how we do things at BK^® (See our fans’ favorite hamburger – The Whopper^®).

But, all of this fanfare from guests who’ve had a chance to try the Ch’King has us asking ourselves, “should we be worried?” We want our guests to decide, so starting June 3, when you order a hand-breaded Ch’King on the BK app or website, you can get a free Whopper* on your order.

How’d we maybe accidentally outdo the Whopper? For the last two years, we’ve been perfecting the Ch’King, asking ourselves, “what if hand breading were to chicken what flame grilling is to burgers?” We’ve mastered the process, ensuring that every freshly hand-breaded chicken filet has a bite that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Served on a toasty, potato bun with crisp pickles and a savory signature sauce, the Ch’King was worth the wait.

In true BK style, have it your way, and choose between the Ch’King, the Spicy Ch’King, which takes it up a notch with a tastebud-tingling spicy glaze, or have either as a Deluxe, which includes refreshingly crisp lettuce and a juicy tomato slice (no pickles, though). So, whether you’re craving a flame-grilled Whopper or the crunch that only the hand-breaded Ch’King can offer, we have you covered (Pretty please don’t forget our beloved Whopper…).

Hear it directly from guests who’ve tried the Ch’King:

“@BurgerKing y'all hit a home run with this one!” @Ju5t1n757

“Burger King spicy chicken sandwich = all gas no breaks” @Okeefe34

“Our guests said it best, our hand-breaded Ch’King sandwich is our greatest yet,” said Ellie Doty, chief marketing officer, Burger King North America. “We said we would create a delicious hand-breaded chicken sandwich that was worth the wait, we just didn’t anticipate that it would turn out quite this good.”
