Shortly after bringing back their Crispy Tacos in a nation-wide rollout, Burger King seems to be bringing back another fan-favorite — at least to our friends north of the border. The official site for Burger King Canada has added Popcorn Chicken, signaling an official arrival sooner rather than later.

Though the fast-food chain primarily focuses on burgers and some pretty killer fries, it’s certainly taken a step into more innovative foods of late, introducing the aforementioned tacos and a Pulled Pork King sandwich. It’s not the King’s first foray into a Popcorn Chicken dish either — the small little balls of chicken goodness were available in the United States in the early 2010s then it was only a limited time offer.
It appears this time around is another limited time offer, but regardless, it’s still a pretty good value. Each meal comes with 10 pieces of Popcorn Chicken for $1.99, though prices may change from location to location. Like any other King-based chicken meal, you’ll get one sauce order.
A quick glance at Twitter suggests most fans have taken a liking to the tasty snacks.
So Burger King has popcorn chicken now and it’s pretty good.

Others, however, are pretty disappointed at the abysmal size of the chicken pieces.

It’s unclear if Burger King is using the Canadian release as a test for a potential United States return or if this is just a one-time limited offer. Full nutritional information for Burger King Canada’s Popcorn Chicken are below.
