All hail Burger King’s Chicken Fries.

Parent company Restaurant Brands International said the fast-food chain’s sales in the US and Canada jumped 7 percent in the second quarter, after it returned the long, skinny pieces of deep-fried chicken to the menu.

Burger King discontinued Chicken Fries in 2012, only to bring them back for a limited time offer last year.

The latest return came after customers took to Twitter and other social media to clamor for them, Burger King CEO Daniel Schwartz said Monday during a call with analysts.

Chicken Fries are popular because they work as either a meal or a snack and cost just $3. They also have large profit margins, and restaurants are moving a lot of them, Schwartz said.

Burger King is getting a boost from other new items as well, including an extra-long pulled pork sandwich.

“We are seeing strength across all these platforms and that’s nothing that’s going to go away,” he told analysts.
