Burger King Is Giving Away Free Chicken Fries This Weekend

You can thank Star Wars fans.

The most important holiday in the lives of Star Wars fans is coming up—May 4, also known as Star Wars Day. In case you don't know why, the sound of saying "May the Fourth" is pretty close to saying "May the Force," as in "May the Force be with you."

The pop culture holiday has become so famous that a whole business has risen around May 4. In March, Disney—which now owns the Star Wars franchise—held an event in New York City called the Imperial March. The event's name refers to the Darth Vader Theme and the commerce march leading to May 4. Many Star Wars games, toys, collectibles, themed partyware, and even food—such as TruMoo's Blue Milk—are sold leading up to the holiday.

Star Wars lovers can pay a lot of money to celebrate their favorite holiday, but Burger King wants to give those fans something for free this year: a four-piece Chicken Fries.

How to Get Free Chicken Fries at BK on Star Wars Day

The four-piece Chicken Fries are free (about a $4 value depending on location) on May the Fourth, starting at 10:30 a.m. with a $1 purchase. It's a perk available to members of Burger King's Royal Perks (even if they're not Star Wars fans) only through the BK app or website. The fine print says that "price and participation may vary," and that fine print doesn't clarify whether the price variation is the $1 purchase or if the fries may not be free but discounted. Royal Perks members must first activate the offer in the "Offers" tab in the app or online before placing their order.

What can you order for $1 to pair with your free Chicken Fries? The closest thing we can find on the menu is the $1.39 value fountain soda, but you'll need something to wash that tasty chicken down with anyway, right?
