Restaurant Brands International's (QSR) Burger King is known for predicting food trends and releasing innovative menu items before they go viral.

However, the fast-food chain has recently faced concerning declines, with system-wide sales down 1.7% and comparable sales decreasing 1.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

To reverse those negative numbers, Burger King is using its forecasting expertise and creativity to experiment with its menu by developing new offerings that explore current trends more deeply.

As revealed by the account @speculite on Instagram, Burger King is quietly testing multiple new menu items in select locations nationwide for a limited time.

This latest drop might be one of its best ones yet, since it looks to be answering fans' continuous requests, giving beloved items a surprising twist.

Although the Whopper is Burger King's most popular offering, the fast-food chain has just released a new burger that might threaten its nearly 70-year reign.

The Cheddar Crusted Stacker consists of two flame-grilled patties, crispy onions, bacon, barbecue sauce, and cheddar cheese on a cheddar-crusted brioche bun.

This item is currently being tested at participating Burger King restaurants in Toledo and Cincinnati, Ohio.

To expand its assortment of sweets, Burger King has unveiled the new Kit Kat Shakes, which come in Caramel, Chocolate, and Vanilla flavors.

All three shakes are being tested at the fast-food chain's Houston, Texas, locations while supplies last.

Burger Kind dives into the chicken trend by improving a fan favorite

There's currently a chicken craze dominating the food market, with restaurant and fast-food chains prioritizing releasing more chicken-based menu items to boost sales.

Although this might be an emerging trend that many companies are just now catching on to, Burger King has invested in developing chicken-based products long before the category went viral.

The chain released Chicken Fries in 2005 as a limited-time offering, which quickly became a fan favorite.

Due to positive consumer feedback and high demand, the company regularly brought the item back, officially making it a permanent part of its core menu in 2015.

To further embrace the chicken trend, Burger King launched Chicken Fries in Garlic Parmesan and Nashville Hot versions, both of which are being tested at participating locations in Columbus, Ohio.
