In a news release, the chain says “the Angriest Whopper” will consist of “flame-grilled beef, piled high with thick-cut bacon, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, crispy onion petals, jalapeños, creamy mayonnaise and spicy angry sauce all layered between a fiery red bun that has hot sauced baked in.” The limited-time menu item, which will cost anywhere from $5.49 and $7.49, has launched six months after the chain rolled out a [burger with black buns](http://time.com/4050395/burger-king-black-burger-bun-whopper-halloween/ "undefined") with A.1 sauce baked in, following a test at [Burger King Japan](http://time.com/3327567/burger-king-black-burger/ "undefined") locations featuring buns, cheese, and ketchup made from squid ink and bamboo charcoal. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4274866/burger-king-angriest-whopper-red-buns/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4274866/burger-king-angriest-whopper-red-buns/"},"headline":"Burger King's Fiery New Whopper Comes on a Red-Hot Bun","datePublished":"2016-03-29T15:18:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:12.317Z","description":"American customers will be seeing red at Burger King restaurants nationwide","url":"https://time.com/4274866/burger-king-angriest-whopper-red-buns/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf1c58ed6615c0a67/69888cd2428a9e6291cd1fd7/angriest-whopper.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
