Burger King tries another left-field menu item

Adding yet another orange-coated menu item to its roster, Burger King will this week launch Cheetos Chicken Fries, its fifth variation on Chicken Fries and its second item featuring the cheesy flavor of Cheetos.

Cheetos Chicken Fries will roll out on Wednesday, and promotional materials show one order as containing nine pieces.

Burger King resurrected its popular Chicken Fries offering last year, leading to a sales bump in its second and third quarters. Several iterations of the item have since followed, including fiery, Buffalo and jalapeno.  

The chain introduced Mac n’ Cheetos, macaroni-and-cheese bites coated in Cheetos-flavored dust, to much fanfare this summer.
