Burger King has a food item that was taken down from the menu list and now it is bringing it back. The burger joint announced the return of its crown-shaped chicken nuggets that have disappeared 10 years ago.

CNN Business reported that after a decade, Burger King decided to bring back these nuggets as the competition in the fast-food industry gets more fierce. It was said that back then, the crown-shaped nuggets were always a favorite among the BK diners but it was removed in the restaurants in 2011.

Petition for the nuggets’ return

As proof that Burger King fans really love these shaped nuggets, someone even started a petition for the company to sell them again. The petitioner said he is aware that a lot of people also miss these crown-shaped nuggets.

Andres Galdamez, the person who started the petition said he really loves the BK nuggets so he is calling on people to sign. So far, the petition already has more than 2,000 signatures.

“I know I'm not the only person who misses these crown-shaped nuggets,” he wrote. “I ask that you please sign this petition to try and bring awareness to the cause for the crown-shaped nuggets.”

The beloved nuggets were added again to the menu

In any case, while it was confirmed that Burger King will be reintroducing the crowned-shaped chicken nuggets, they will not be available in all stores yet. As of this time, diners can only get them in store outlets around Miami.

Plus, it was said that it will only be offered for a limited time although there could be a chance, it will remain on the menu. An order of 10-piece nuggets was priced at $1.49. Most probably one reason why this may be offered for a limited period is due to the chicken shortage and soaring prices of chicken.

Meanwhile, Burger King asked fans to stay tuned for more information about the possible nationwide launch of the crown-shaped chicken nuggets. Of course, this will come with the bbq-flavored dipping that everyone loves. The nuggets will return on May 17 and as part of the test run, it will be in 25 BK restaurants in Miami.
