Well, it's more like Burger King French Fries are crispy because they are battered.
The batter is a mix containing rice flour and potato starch among other ingredients. The resulting crust is more consistently crispy than most other fast food fries but also has a grainy surface texture and isn't as potato-y as the crust found on other fries.
Burger King's fries weren't always battered; at some point they changed their French fries for more crispiness and, I suppose, distinctiveness.
Still, if you don't care that much for potato flavor and just want a crispy fry, Burger King French Fries are one way to go.

BK's fries used to be one of my favorites before they "new and improved" them a few years ago.
ReplyDelete"New and improved" has been a bane of mine for years going way back to CoCo Puff's "improvement" back in my childhood in the 70's.
A rare exception is the change Wendy's made to their fries recently. I actually like them better now.
They're my favorite too. And my boyfriend hates them, so he insisted on showing me this to prove to me that they suck. :P
ReplyDeleteI'll say it, BK fries are my fav fast food fries
ReplyDeleteHaha, I knew someone would come out and say it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I remember liking them better before they battered them.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I don't know that my opinion proves that they suck but thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteI think I speak for a lot of people when I say Burger King's fries are near the bottom of my list for good fast food fries. They don't taste right, BK needs to make a complete overhaul of these fries if they're going to compete with McDonald's.
