BURGER KING CHICKEN FRIES
Burger King's Whopper has always been my favorite. Now I have 2 favorites! Here is a great recipe, very close to Burger Kings Chicken Fries! I found this "copykat" on the net and after trying it, I'm very happy with it. Easy to make and you can throw it together fast with a crisp salad, and for the times that you have a little extra time, some corn on the cob will work nicely. You can use a little cayenne into the flour to spice it up.
