In what is one of the first fast-food launches of 2023, Burger King will introduce an International Original Chicken Sandwich collection on Jan. 5.

The lineup comprises the Mexican Original Chicken Sandwich, the American Original Chicken Sandwich and the Italian Original Chicken Sandwich.

The Mexican Original Chicken Sandwich features a lightly breaded chicken patty with spicy queso sauce and crispy jalapenos on a long sesame seed bun. The American Original is a lightly breaded chicken patty topped with crisp lettuce and mayonnaise on a long sesame seed bun. The Italian Original Chicken Sandwich has a white meat chicken patty, lightly breaded and topped with two slices of mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce on a long sesame seed bun.

All three will retail for around $5.99.

Burger King has dabbled in specialty sandwiches since 1979, when it introduced a line of specialty sandwiches served on a sub roll. Burger King replaced the Ch’King earlier this year with the new BK Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich line, which came in four varieties—Classic, Spicy, Bacon and Swiss Cheese and Southern BBQ.
