Burger King's chicken sandwich debut in Michigan delayed by pickle shortage, operator says
Fox News
Burger King is the latest chain to enter the chicken sandwich fray, but the item’s dramatic debut in Michigan is being delayed by a pickle shortage.
BK’s hand-breaded chicken sandwich was supposed to hit the Wolverine State on March 23, but a dearth of special pickles – or more specifically, the jars they come in – is holding everything up, WOOD-TV reports. "We have pickles for Whoppers but these are very special bigger, crunchier, zesty pickles," Jim MacDonald, vice president of operations for Burger King Grand Rapids, told the outlet in a Thursday interview. "The problem was we couldn’t get the pickles because they couldn’t get the jars during the pandemic. They couldn’t make the jars to put the pickles in… so they couldn’t make enough to get them where we needed them."More Related News
