After seeing sales gains during the third quarter, Burger King said it has introduced a Buffalo version of its fan-favorite Chicken Fries.

The original Chicken Fries—a past LTO that was brought back as a permanent offering in March—and its follow-up, Fiery Chicken Fries, have been key sales drivers for the chain in recent months, spurring comps growth of 6.7 percent in Q2 and 6.2 percent in Q3.

The latest iteration eschews traditional Buffalo sauce, opting instead for a Buffalo-flavored breading, the chain said. A nine-piece order of the limited-time item sells for $2.89.
