Burger King fast food restaurants in the USA will be turning up the heat as well as chilling down this summer with the June 19 launch of Fiery Nuggets, a spicy version of the chain’s iconic chicken nuggets, and its latest take on frozen beverages with a hint of sweet heat in Frozen Fanta Kickin’ Mango.
Right on the heels of introducing Spicy Chicken Fries for a limited time, the new Fiery Nuggets are coated with a spicy glaze while the $1 Frozen Fanta Kickin’ Mango is a refreshing combination of mango and citrus flavors kicked up with a touch of spicy chili flavor.
“Heat is definitely having a moment, so this felt like the perfect time to introduce the Fiery Nuggets with the spicy glaze,” said Chad Brauze, senior director of culinary innovation and sustainability at Burger King North America. “Glazed with Cayenne peppers, Birds Eye chili and Black pepper, the new nuggets provide the perfect combination of flavor and spice.”
“The Fiery Nuggets needed an equally tasty companion, so we’re excited to introduce this limited-edition Frozen Fanta flavor exclusively at Burger King restaurants that simultaneously cools and kicks up the heat,” said Dane Callis, senior brand manager of Fanta North America. “Our Frozen Fanta Kickin’ Mango provides an explosion of bold mango citrus chili flavors that offer a refreshing, tongue-tingling sensation with a spicy finish that passes the hot grill summer vibe check.”
Founded in 1954, the Burger King quick service hamburger chain is operating at more than 18,700 locations in over than 100 countries and US territories. Almost 100% of BK outlets are owned and operated by independent franchisees, many of them family-owned businesses.
