Original Chicken Sandwich
The Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich is an elongated sandwich made with a lightly breaded white-meat chicken patty, crisp shredded lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun.
Its distinctive long shape separates it from Burger King’s round Royal Crispy Chicken sandwiches. The Original Chicken Sandwich has remained a recognizable Burger King menu item since its introduction in 1979. Burger King described it in July 2026 as an icon known for its signature seasoning, flavor, and unmistakable shape.

Why You Should Try The Original Chicken Sandwich
The Original Chicken Sandwich is suitable for customers who prefer Burger King’s traditional elongated chicken sandwich rather than a round chicken breast sandwich.
Its seasoned breading creates a savory exterior, while the long chicken patty provides a consistent amount of chicken throughout the bun. Shredded lettuce adds a lighter, crisp texture, and mayonnaise provides a creamy contrast to the breading.
The sandwich also has a simple recipe. It does not normally contain cheese, tomatoes, pickles, or spicy sauce, making the flavor primarily about chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce, and the toasted sesame bun.
Its continued presence on the menu since 1979 has made it one of Burger King’s longest-running chicken products. The chain expanded the lineup in July 2026 after receiving customer requests for new versions of the sandwich.
