Burger King is testing two brand new menu items which put a healthier twist on their classic chicken sandwiches and wraps.
The fast food chain always tests new items in select locations first to see if they are popular before rolling them out nationwide.
Burger King’s new Flame-Grilled Chicken
Starting June 6, Burger King is testing a new Flame-Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Flame-Grilled Chicken Wrap at markets in Omaha, Nebraska and Huntsville, Alabama.
Instead of using deep-fried crispy chicken fillets, these new options use flame-grilled chicken breast, so are slightly healthier.
The chicken sandwich features flame-grilled breast, layered with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato and mayo on a toasted brioche bun.

Foodies can enjoy the new lighter option in three different flavors depending on their mood: Classic, Fiery, or Bacon and Swiss.
If you like the sound of the wrap, that features flame-grilled chicken breast, juicy tomato and crisp lettuce inside a soft tortilla.
It comes in a variety of flavors too, including Classic, Fiery, Honey Mustard, Philly, Fiery Bacon, and Bacon and Cheddar.
“Huntsville and Omaha offer a unique opportunity for guests in those markets to be the first to try the all-new Flame-Grilled Chicken Sandwiches and Wraps,” a Burger King spokesperson told Restaurant Business.
“As with all market tests, Burger King guests in the area will provide feedback that helps determine whether these products will be launched nationally.”
It comes Shake Shack’s new summer menu has just arrived across the US, but it’s leaving a foul taste in some people’s mouths.
Burger King relaunching $5 value meal
If you’re not in Omaha or Huntsville, you won’t be able to try the flame-grilled chicken options just yet, but an exciting new menu item is on its way.
Burger King has confirmed it is relaunching its $5 “Your Way Meal” which includes your choice of three sandwiches, nuggets, fries, and a drink.
It comes after Taco Bell just launched the $5 Taco Discovery Box which includes three different tacos and a drink.
McDonald’s is also releasing a $5 deal soon, which features a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, a small soft drink and four McNuggets.
It’s a battle of the value deals – but Burger King has said their deal will arrive before McDonald’s, and it’ll be here for longer.
