Two of the biggest names in 'naughty' snacking are teaming up once again, and this latest collaboration might be their most tempting yet. In case you missed it, Pringles and Burger King partnered up to release a KFC Chicken Royale flavoured Pringles (delicious btw) - and now the duo are back with an equally exciting launch.
From 9 June, and launching nationwide in Burger King restaurants are the new Pringles Sour Cream & Onion Chicken Fries, combining the iconic flavour of Pringles’ bestselling crisps with one of Burger King’s most beloved menu items. And if you’re already a fan of Chicken Fries, this sounds like a match made in fast-food heaven.
Burger King’s Chicken Fries have built up something of a cult following over the years. Made from strips of 100% chicken breast and coated in a crispy golden crumb, they’re one of those menu items that people seem to celebrate every time they return. A bit like a McDonald's nugget. So the fact they're getting a Pringles makeover is very exciting.
The new flavour takes the savoury tang of Sour Cream & Onion, arguably Pringles’ most iconic flavour, and layers it onto the crispy coating. The combination of creamy sour cream notes, punchy onion seasoning and crunchy chicken sounds like exactly the kind of snack that’s impossible to stop eating.
And if you can’t wait until the official launch, Burger King is giving fans the chance to try them early through a one-day "Crumb Exchange" event in London on 4 June. Anyone who brings an empty large tube of Sour Cream & Onion Pringles to the Tottenham Hale Burger King can swap it for a free portion of the new Chicken Fries. The only question is whether nine pieces of chicken fries will be enough..
