Burger King just released three new chicken sandwiches as part of its new Chicken Caesar Sandwiches menu. The new sandwiches are available in the following varieties: Crispy, Spicy, and Grilled. The Crispy version has 810 calories, while the Spicy and Grilled Caesar Chicken sandwiches have 830 and 710 calories, respectively.
These sandwiches aren’t the healthiest of the bunch, but still not terrible compared to other menu items like the Triple Stacker King or the Bacon King, which clock in at well over a thousand calories each.
For example, the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which is the healthiest item on the Chicken Caesar menu, contains 1800 mg of sodium—or 78 percent of the daily recommended intake for the average adult—and it also has 145 mg of cholesterol, which is quite high for a single meal or snack.
For those unaware, the total recommended dietary intake of cholesterol for a healthy adult should not exceed 300 mg per day. So just one Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwich contains nearly 50 percent of the recommended daily limit of cholesterol intake of 300 mg set by the American Heart Association.
All three sandwiches on the new Chicken Caesar Sandwich lineup feature the same ingredients: Caesar sauce, bacon, Parmesan cheese, tomato, lettuce, and a potato bun.
The three sandwiches are essentially the same save for one comes with a crispy fried chicken filet, another one comes with a spicy crispy fried chicken filet, and the other comes with a grilled chicken filet.
