After years of customers asking for the crown-shaped, dippable chicken snack to be re-introduced to the menu, Crown Nuggets are returning to Burger King restaurants across the USA for the first time since 2011. And, to bring more family fun to the summer season, the chain is teaming up with Crayola, a brand that celebrates colorful expression and hands-on play, with a Crayola-themed King Jr. Meal. Each meal includes a co-branded four-pack of Crayola crayons and a colorable crown and meal bag.
“We’ve been committed to creating awesome experiences for the whole family and listening to our guests, and bringing back our Crown Nuggets allows us to do both of those things,” said Joel Yashinsky, Burger King’s chief marketing officer in the United States and Canada. “And, by partnering with Crayola, which is known for inspiring creativity and imagination to generations of families, we’ve created a King Jr. Meal experience that brings more fun and interaction to mealtime for guests of all ages.”
Crown Nuggets will be available while supplies last starting June 2, and the Crayola-themed King Jr. Meal will join the menu beginning June 9. Crown Nuggets are available for the $3.99 King Jr. Meal, which also comes with a side dish and drink. Customers can also opt for an 8-piece order.
