Overview
- Burger King confirmed the new nuggets will hit U.S. menus on Sept. 1, 2026 after a months‑long listening effort that collected thousands of texts, calls and comments.
- The recipe change replaces the previous product with 100% white meat, a crispier golden breading and an enhanced marinade designed to make the nuggets juicier.
- Burger King also redesigned the packaging to a box, refreshed Honey Mustard, Buffalo and Sweet & Sour sauces, and is introducing a limited‑time Special Savory Sauce.
- Suggested pricing ranges from $1.99 for a 4‑piece to $7.49 for a 20‑piece, and the company says it used guest taste tests, including children, to refine the final product.
- The move is part of a multiyear turnaround that followed a remade Whopper and seeks to capitalize on growing demand for chicken products while supporting recent U.S. same‑store sales gains of 8.5%.
