\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicken Rings.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t that have a logical ring to it. <\/p>\n

Sorry.<\/p>\n

But Burger King didn’t follow my logic, they went with the convoluted name Chicken Fries Rings. I can understand their logic. These rings of chicken fall under the Chicken Fries banner, but I imagine when most folks order them they\u2019ll call them Chicken Rings, which is what I did and the cashier knew exactly what I wanted.<\/p>\n

So Burger King’s Chicken Fries Rings are what\u2019s next in fast food chicken finger food technology.<\/p>\n

Cue up Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra.”<\/p>\n

Oh, it’s not?<\/p>\n

Cue up “Yakety Sax” to take us back to 2011 when White Castle introduced their Chicken Rings.<\/p>\n

Burger King\u2019s version looks exactly like White Castle\u2019s \u2014 flat rings with a seasoned golden brown coating. They\u2019re aerodynamic enough that if you wanted to fling them they\u2019d probably get more airtime than a Burger King onion ring. So let the food fights begin!<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

A serving has six pieces and comes with your choice of dipping sauce. I went with BK\u2019s Zesty Sauce. I’m sure the breading and spices are the same ones used on their straight Chicken Fries, but these rings taste better. They have a stronger flavor and the spices stand out a bit more. Maybe it\u2019s because there’s more surface area touching my tongue with each bite. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m no food physicist. But I do know they have enough peppery flavor that I\u2019d be fine eating these without a dipping sauce, which is something I can\u2019t say about McDonald\u2019s Chicken McNuggets.<\/p>\n

Their exterior is not what I would consider crispy, but it\u2019s also not soggy. When I bit into them there was a little noise, but not enough to rattle my brain with every chew. I wish these came out crispier. The white meat chicken was on the dry side, but the dipping sauce hides that.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

One issue I\u2019ve always had with Burger King\u2019s Chicken Fries is their lack of chicken meat. Of course, being the shape of fries makes it hard to fit a decent amount of chicken into one. But I don\u2019t feel the same about these Chicken Rings. Their flat and round shape allows them to have about twice the amount of chicken.<\/p>\n

Overall, I enjoyed Burger King\u2019s Chicken Fries Rings and I do think taste-wise they\u2019re a step above their Chicken Fries and miles above their regular chicken nuggets. But for those looking for value will probably prefer BK\u2019s regular Chicken Nuggets, which currently are available for $1.49 for 10-pieces.<\/p>\n

\nSize:<\/b> 6-pieces
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Burger King
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> They have more flavor than BK’s Chicken Fries, even though they’re made with the same breading. I’m fine with eating them without a dipping sauce. Zesty Sauce. More aerodynamic than a BK Onion Ring.
\nCons:<\/b> Its name. Looks like White Castle’s version. Breading isn’t very crispy. Chicken meat was on the dry side. BK’s Chicken Nuggets.<\/p>\n
