News: Burger King - New BBQ Bacon Whopper and Honey BBQ Strips

Burger King leads into spring with a new-ish Whopper variant as well as another sauced version of their chicken strips in the new BBQ Bacon Whopper and Honey BBQ Chicken Strips respectively.

The BBQ Bacon Whopper features a quarter-pound, flame-grilled beef patty, thick-cut bacon, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mayo, ketchup, and BBQ sauce on a toasted sesame bun. The name's fairly literal, as it's a Whopper with Cheese plus bacon and BBQ sauce. Burger King has offered other BBQ versions of their signature Whopper before, including last year's Carolina BBQ Whopper.

Honey BBQ Chicken Strips feature Burger King's battered, breaded, and deep-fried chicken breast strips tossed in a honey BBQ sauce. They previously offered the strips tossed in a Buffalo sauce.

I read it too fast and thought the title was "Burger King to debut new BBQ bacon wrapped chicken strips."

 

[franknbeans]

I see what they did with the E, but I could have sworn they've had a bbq whopper before.

Edit: its the bacon that makes it different

 

[Laieon]

Those chicken strips look puurty good.

 

[Winterfang]

I miss the extreme whopper. I remember if I changed the drink for a milkshake it would cost exactly 5 dollars.

 

[Courage]

Oh god, those chicken strips.

 

[krameriffic]

Those chicken strips look puurty good.

Problem with fast food fried chicken dipped in sauce is that it will be mushy by the time you eat it.

 

[akira28]

Now will they be nicely coated in sauce, or basically drowning in a pool of sauce, ruining the experience for everyone?

Probably will depend more on who's prepping it for you I'd guess.

 

[tanooki27]

those honey bbq chicken strips might be good if the sauce isn't too ketchupy.

makes me want some kfc honey bbq wings. those are right.

 

[TheJLC]

Man, it looks delicious.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

The honey bbq chicken strips are out here and those sunsabitches were good! I was really surprised by them and the crinkle cut fries weren't bad.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

This BK up the street better have it. Gonna check tomorrow.

 

[Lazyslob]

omg. that burger looks delicious.

those chickens... naw.. look crummy

 

[Jazzy Network]

The King is a god.

 

[PaulExcellent]

DAMN
dem strips

 

[Man God]

BK's buffalo strips were basically just as good as any chain sit down restaurants and competitively priced. Very impressed by them.

 

[JordanN]

Bullshot.

You know when you go to order the final product, it's either soaked in sauce or it's very dry. Never is the presentation that perfect.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Yeah, I've had their buffalo chicken strips a few times and they were preeeeeetty good.

 

[Pagusas]

not a fan of BK, but that actually sounds good. Its sad that every BK I've seen is Getto as hell, looks third world, dirty and basically gives K-mart vibes.

 

[oxidax]

Man.

Fuck my diet.

 

[fader]

Must...... Resist!

Never got around to trying the buffalo ones, not sure I'd like these new ones as much as I would have those either though as I'm not a fan of overly sweet BBQ sauces.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I would definitely try these.

 

[soundahfekz]

[Ivan 3414]

Bullshot.

They're all bullshots, dude...

 

[JordanN]

They're all bullshots, dude...

It's sometimes possible to get a burger that doesn't look like crap. I know I've had plenty of success with the whopper.
It all depends on timing.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Dat Sodium.

 

[Himynameischris]

Tried the BBQ Bacon Whopper, not bad.

We need a cooking thread.

How is this relevant?

 

[Konka]

We need a cooking thread.

There are several.

 

[Kusagari]

BBQ Bacon Whopper was better than the regular Whopper but there's zero reason to get it over the vastly superior Angry Whopper.

What if you order both and combine the two?

 

[Oersted]

How is this relevant?

We have way to many threads about the newest american fast food.

There are several.

Cool. Didn't find any. Link?

Bottom bun, burger patty, tomato, lettuce.

Sorely missing the top bun tho.

Looks like this new burger is replacing the Angry Whopper on the menu. At least, that's what I noticed earlier today at one of the local ones here.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Prepare your hearts for desolation.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

If only I could find a Burger King where it didn't take 20 minutes to get through the darn drive thru.

 

[Man God]

That's a damn shame. Angry Whopper was the only sandwich worth getting.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Bring back the sourdough and then well talk BK

 

[shira]

That's a damn shame. Angry Whopper was the only sandwich worth getting.

Just ask for angry sauce and 2 onion rings. Tada

how did it go?

 

[show me your skeleton]

damn you england for not doing those bbq chicken wing things.

actually no, my waist and wallet are relieved.

 

[Curtisaur]

The BBQ bacon Whopper was nothing special at all.

 

[giancarlo123x]

If only Burger King wasn't absolute shit I'd bother to try it.
