One of the first dishes I ever became obsessed with was pretzel-crusted chicken. The combination of salty pretzel and fiery mustard already left my mouth watering, so adding succulent chicken to the mix let the floodgates open.

Burger King is now fueling that nostalgia for me with their newest item: Crispy Pretzel Chicken Fries.

The new Chicken Fries take strips of white meat chicken, and coat them in a seasoned pretzel breading. They're then deep-fried to a golden brown, with the pretzel breading adding a slightly crunchier texture.

Lately Burger King's been innovation around the chicken fries has revolved around spice, with jalapeno and buffalo being recent examples, so this is a twist is definitely going to shake things up in their innovation space.

To me, the only drawback here is that BK doesn't have a spicy mustard dipping sauce to really take me back to one of my favorite dishes.

Still, I'm down to binge on a bunch of these with a generous helping of their honey mustard.

You can find the Crispy Pretzel Chicken Fries at Burger King for a limited time, and an order of 9 carries a recommended price of $3.09.
