Chicken Fries were originally launched in 2005. Despite a cult following, they were discontinued in 2012.

The company said it decided to bring back the fries after seeing petitions, tweets, and Facebook pages begging for their return.

Fans of Chicken Fries say they are easier to dip in sauce than traditional nuggets.

Burger King has posted sales gains this year after simplifying the menu to include classic products.
