Burger King recently unleashed their new website (site was up and running while writing this, but it appears the old version of the site is up) and with it they also debuted a gastric bomb of new products. Many of the menu items will sound familiar because, well, McDonald’s did it. So here they are:
Chicken Strips
Available in 3 or 5 pieces, the white meat chicken is marinated and battered in seasoned home-style breading. The dipping sauces available include: King Kung Pao, BBQ Roasted Jalapeño, Barbecue, Honey Mustard, Sweet and Sour, Ranch, and Buffalo. A 3-piece Chicken Strips has 360 calories, 19 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1,400 milligrams of sodium, and 14 grams of protein.
Crispy Chicken Snack Wraps
Burger King’s Snack Wraps combine seven lettuces, white meat chicken, a three-cheese medley, and either Ken’s Ranch Dressing or Ken’s Honey Mustard Dressing in a white flour tortilla.
The Ranch Crispy Chicken Snack Wrap has 370 calories, 21 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,060 milligrams of sodium, 33 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein. While the Honey Mustard version has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 990 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein.

The Strawberry Banana Smoothie has 310 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 73 grams of carbohydrates, 60 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. The Tropical Mango has 330 calories, 1 gram of fat, 78 grams of carbohydrates, 63 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

Salads
While everything else so far looks familiar, Burger King’s new salads don’t look like they’re from McDonald’s. The salads have the option of having either Tendercrisp or Tendergrill chicken and are available in three varieties:
Chicken, Apple & Cranberry Garden Fresh Salad – Seven premium lettuces, crisp apples, dried cranberries, bleu cheese, and Ken’s Apple Cider Vinaigrette. With Tendergrill chicken it has 520 calories, 35 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 950 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 35 grams of sugar, and 35 grams of protein.
Chicken BLT Garden Fresh Salad – Seven premium lettuces (including romaine, spring mix, and iceberg), thick cut hardwood smoked bacon, tomatoes, red onions, a three-cheese medley, and Ken’s Avocado Ranch Dressing. With Tendergrill chicken it has 510 calories, 33 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 125 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,610 milligrams of sodium, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, and 42 grams of protein.

With Tendergrill chicken it has 490 calories, 28 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,620 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, and 41 grams of protein.
I just had the chicken strips today. I’d noticed a week or three ago that they mysteriously replaced the “chicken fries.” The strips were decent, the fries both awful and redundant. (The menu also has chicken tenders. How many forms can chicken slurry take, I ask you?) Eating actual meat at a fast food restaurant… yum!
The smoothies have been on the menu for a few weeks now. Test market, maybe? I have not tried them yet, but now that it’s gotten unseasonably warm, I may. Seriously, it’s in the 70s today. In Michigan. In March.
Something has gone horribly wrong.
Huh….*rubbing eyes* Am I taking crazy pills, that’s totally McDonald’s menu! LOL It’s like that moment when you are watching Friends With Benefit only to realize that you were really watching No Strings Attached.
We’ll see how this goes.
Had the Chicken BLT with honey balsamic vinaigrette dressing and it was pretty damn good. I love the red onions, and the bacon was thick strips with a large dice cut, just like a homemade salad. I applaud BK, these are a real step up from those atrocious vacuum sealed salads they used to sell.
I like to pronounce Frappe like Frape.
I will be passing on all this fatty gross food! None of it sounds good.
What size Smoothie are those nutritionals from?
I believe it’s small.
No, I double checked, it’s for medium (16 ounces)
I know this is in Hawaii, but holy smokes, on the menu board when you look closely I think it says the salads are $7.49
Just please don’t remove the Zesty Sauce from the menu!
