How To Order An Italian-Style Chicken Sandwich At Burger King

Burger King's Mozzarella Fries work perfectly as the substitute for the melted cheese you get in a classic Italian sub. Put them on the patty, then spoon some of the marinara sauce inside before adding the top bun back. You have to be okay getting your hands a little dirty for this one. Since it isn't an official Burger King recipe, you can't order it directly.

Burger King has experimented with Italian chicken sandwiches for decades

Trying your hand at making an Italian-style sandwich at Burger King — better known for its signature classic beef burger, the Whopper — might seem strange, but it actually builds on a tried-and-tested formula that the chain used to sell. Indeed, Burger King's Original Chicken Sandwich, which dates back to 1979, came out with an Italian Chicken Sandwich in 1988 as part of various internationally themed variants of the recipe.

It's also not the only Italian-themed burger the chain has delivered. The Italian Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich launched in 2023 for a short time as a deluxe upgrade, served on a potato bun, while back in 1992, the chain delivered a Parmigiana-style Italian sausage sandwich. The return of an Italian Chicken Sandwich is not entirely off Burger King's cards; as one Reddit user jokingly mentioned in a thread devoted to the topic , an Italian "comes and go[es] every year." For the time being, you have to use a little elbow grease to create your own makeshift version.
