5 Burger King Hacks To Try On Your Next Order

When that hankering for fast food craves and you want to hit up a spot that’s got a little royalty associated with it, Burger King is your answer. It’s the home of the iconic flame-grilled Whopper, crunchy chicken fries, and of course, onion rings. Burger King conjures up a heartier image of a burger than McDonald’s does. Even the colors on the buildings and logo just feel… a bit beefier.

Just like most fast food spots, many people who venture out to their local Burger Kings usually have their order already set to go before they walk up to the register. But, what people might not realize is that Burger King lets you get creative with your orders and there are a bunch of clever ordering hacks you can implement to truly elevate your meal. Slap on your crown and get ready to learn how to royally boost your next BK order.

Get Your Burger Broiled

Many of the burgers on Burger King’s variety of sandwiches come from holding trays. These trays are stocked with burgers so that during the hustle and bustle of rush hours, employees can simply reach in, grab one quickly, slap together a sandwich, and keep the orders moving along. But, if you don’t want to suffer through the often bland and rubbery burgers sitting in those trays (you really have no clue how long those patties have been sitting in there), ask for your patty “off the broiler.” Getting a patty off the broiler guarantees you’ll receive a fresh patty that’s juicy and packed with bolder flavors.

Keep Things Zesty

A great condiment, much like how a rug ties a room together, successfully marries all the flavors in the bite of a sandwich in the most delicious way possible. That’s why you should never ignore the sauces when you order up anything on the Burger King menu. And if you’re looking for a sauce that pairs with just about every single item, it’s the Zesty sauce. Whether it’s on a breakfast sandwich, used as a dip for fries and onion rings, or just an additional condiment for your burgers, neglecting to add this is a big mistake.

DIY A Rodeo Burger

Burger King offers a hearty selection of Rodeo-themed items. These items all have barbecue sauce slathered on top for a hearty, smoky flavor. While there are several Rodeo items available today, the once-beloved Rodeo King is no longer on menu, but that doesn’t mean it’s gone for good. Here’s how you recreate it: order a Bacon King, then add barbecue sauce and onion rings on top. Oh, and ditch the ketchup, too. Now smile and take a bite of history.

The Mustard Whopper

There’s no wrong way to eat a Whopper. You can make just about every swap and substitution you want when ordering Burger King’s iconic menu item. But, if you want a Whopper that truly packs a sharp punch of flavor, kindly ask for extra mustard and no mayonnaise. The zesty tang of the horseradish in the mustard does a perfect job of delivering extra-powerful flavor. You can also opt out of the ketchup for an even stronger kick.

Ask For Have-sies 

Deciding between fries and onion rings can feel as daunting as trying to decide which one of your children you love more. It’s a choice few people enjoy making, but luckily, Burger King is well aware how much of a struggle that decision is, and they have a great way to prevent it. Ask the employee at the register for “have-sies,” and you’ll get a box half filled with fries and half filled with onion rings.
