The Burger King Classic Chicken Melt costs £1.99 and carries 411 kcal. NEW! a snack-worthy Chicken burger, with a crunchy cornflake coating, and topped with tangy cheesy sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. It sits in the chicken section of the UK menu, alongside 12 other items.
The breakdown reads 19g of protein, which is 38 percent of a day's reference intake, 19g of fat, 6.3g of it saturated, 2g of salt, 33 percent of the 6g daily maximum. The salt is what makes this hard to pair, because most of what sits beside it on the menu adds more of the same.
Divide 411 kcal by its 157g and you get around 262 kcal per 100g. That makes it typical of the menu around it, so weight and satisfaction track each other here.
Against the rest of the chicken range it ranks as the cheapest thing in the section. Nothing in the section costs less, and BBQ Steakhouse Crispy Chicken at £8.09 is the ceiling.
On calories it lands 178 kcal below the chicken average of 589 kcal. For comparison, Loaded King Fries comes to 415 kcal, which is the nearest match anywhere on the menu.
Burger King declares no allergen as an ingredient of the Classic Chicken Melt, and 8 as possible through shared preparation: gluten, wheat, milk, egg, soya, sesame, celery, mustard. A blank ingredient list is not the same as a safe one, because the second list is what a shared fryer and a shared surface produce. Of the 12 items in this section with an allergen declaration, 3 flag fewer than this one. Both lists come from the brand's own data against the fourteen allergens UK law requires restaurants to declare, and practice varies between branches, so confirm at the counter for anything serious.
Ordered as part of a meal, Chicken Nuggets at £4.69 and BBQ Steakhouse Crispy Chicken at £8.09 sit in the same section and are the obvious companions. Whether that lands where you want it is a question for the calorie calculator; the full menu has the rest of the prices.

Every Burger King UK item with its price and calorie count, sortable in one view.
A Classic Chicken Melt costs £1.99 at a standard Burger King restaurant in the UK. Delivery apps show a higher number for the identical item, so this figure only holds if you walk in or collect.
The Classic Chicken Melt contains 411 kcal, which is 21 percent of a 2,000 kcal day. That is the item alone. Fries and a full sugar drink can add as much again, which the calorie calculator makes obvious.
It carries 2g of salt. UK guidance sets the adult limit at 6g a day, so this is 33 percent of the daily maximum from one item. Sides and dips add to that faster than most people expect.
It is most often ordered as part of a meal rather than on its own. From the same section, Bacon Caesar Crispy Chicken and Texan BBQ Double Royale are worth a look. What those extras come to is set out on the sides menu.
Menus vary between branches, and limited run items in particular are not carried everywhere. The Burger King app shows the live menu once you select a restaurant, which is the only reliable way to check before travelling. The store locator lists every UK branch.
