Burger King® Kick-starts Spring With the Return of Melts and New Spicy Chicken Fries

Starting March 6, Burger King Guests can enjoy the return of Melts* – the crave-worthy and melty handheld toasted sandwiches that were first introduced in 2022 – and a new, flaming-hot version of its iconic Chicken Fries. Melts and Spicy Chicken Fries are both launching at BK® just in time for spring, and available at participating restaurants nationwide from March 6 through May 14.

The cheesy, melty, one-handed fan-favorite Melts are back in three varieties, giving Guests even more opportunities to have it their way, and include:

  • Classic Melt: Features two slices of toasted bread, layered with two flame-grilled Whopper® Jr. patties, melty American cheese, caramelized onions and Stacker Sauce.
  • Spicy Melt: Features two slices of toasted bread, layered with two Whopper® Jr. patties, topped with melty American cheese, jalapeños, caramelized onions and a creamy, spicy sauce.
  • Bacon Melt: Features two slices of toasted bread, layered with two Whopper® Jr. patties, melty American cheese, crispy bacon, caramelized onions and Stacker Sauce.

In addition, starting March 9, BK Royal Perks members can continue getting exclusive benefits they can’t find anywhere else. To celebrate the launch of Melts, loyalty members can enter the “Royal Meltness”** sweepstakes via the BK app and bk.com to win instant prizes worth more than $200K, a chance to win a grand prize, and access a special line-up of Melt meals.
