Burger King will debut a Loaded Jalapeño Original Chicken Sandwich and a new Club Original Chicken Sandwich at restaurants throughout the United States on July 7.
First introduced in 1979, the Original Chicken Sandwich has been a favorite among diners at the QSR chain for decades, thanks to its long shape, lightly breaded white meat chicken, shredded lettuce and tangy mayonnaise — all stacked on a toasted sesame seed bun. Guests have continued to show their appreciation for the sandwich and asked for even more ways to enjoy it, which is why BK is bringing two new flavorful Original Chicken Sandwich innovations to the menu for a limited time. Descriptions oF the latest offerings follow below.
• The Loaded Jalapeño Original Chicken Sandwich (pictured above) features creamy jalapeño sauce, crispy and pickled jalapeños, crispy onions, lettuce, tomatoes and American cheese, layered on the signature long white meat chicken patty and iconic elongated sesame seed bun.
• The Club Chicken Original Chicken Sandwich (seen below) is is a familiar but elevated take on the original, boasting crispy bacon, melted Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and creamy mayonnaise, stacked on the signature long white meat chicken patty and iconic elongated sesame seed bun.
“The Original Chicken Sandwich has been loved for its signature seasoning, taste, and unmistakable shape since 1979,” said Joel Yashinsky, chief marketing officer of Burger King operations in the United States and Canada. “Through our ongoing guest listening initiative, we heard just how passionate fans are about this sandwich, and how excited they are for new twists on it. The Loaded Jalapeño and Club flavors are our way of celebrating adding something new to the lineup.”
