Continues the battle of chicken sandwiches between fast food chains throughout the United States, competition that It started after the fury that Popeyes caused a year and a half ago, but apparently Burger King has some problems to stay in the competition .
In February Burger King reported that it was working on its own hand-breaded sandwich, however it looks like this release will have to wait in West Michigan and all because of the shortage of pickles .
“We have pickles for Whoppers But these are bigger, crunchier and spicier pickles, ”Jim MacDonald, vice president of operations for Burger King Grand Rapids, told WOOD TV8. “The problem was that we couldn’t get the pickles because they couldn’t get the jars during the pandemic . They couldn’t make the jars to put the pickles in and take them away, so they couldn’t make enough where we needed them. ”
The new Crispy Chicken Sandwich is an update on an existing offering from the chain, but with a hand-breaded chicken fillet.
On the race for the best chicken sandwich, MacDonald said optimistically: “We could be one of the last to enter, but look, we have the best.”
