Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

Burger King is claiming that their new Fiery Chicken Fries are “offensively spicy.” But the blend of cayenne pepper, black pepper, and savory spices in the crispy breading that coats the white meat chicken doesn’t sound very offensive. In this day and age of habanero this and ghost pepper that, it sounds inoffensive.

Like their non-spicy brother, a serving of Fiery Chicken Fries come with nine pieces and your choice of BBQ, Honey Mustard, Ranch, Zesty, Buffalo, Sweet & Sour, or Chicken Fries Sauce.

The chicken finger food has 290 calories, 18 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 870 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of sugar, and 15 grams of protein.

Fiery Chicken Fries are available for a limited time.

Jack in the Box is currently testing another variation of their premium burger — the Cheddar & Crispy Onion Buttery Jack. Impulsive Buy reader Michael took the photo above at a Jack in the Box location in Sacramento, CA.

Along with the garlic herb butter-topped 1/4 lb signature beef patty and gourmet signature bun, the burger appears to also have crispy onions, grilled onions, two slices of cheddar, and a sauce that looks like the creamy tomato on the Classic Buttery Jack.
