A Burger King menu favorite is back by popular demand — but not for long.

The Ghost Pepper Whopper returns Thursday, Oct. 12, at participating Burger King locations nationwide, the Florida-based fast-food chain said in a news release.

The seasonal burger arrives ahead of Halloween and will appear alongside the new Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries. Both are available for a limited time, although Burger King didn’t say for how long.

The Ghost Pepper Whopper will return to Burger King for a limited time on Oct. 12, alongside the new Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries.

A spicy twist on the original, the Ghost Pepper Whopper features a flame-grilled hamburger patty topped with spicy queso, crispy jalapenos, bacon and ghost pepper cheese, per a product description. It’s served on a toasted orange bun sprinkled with black sesame seeds.

The new chicken fries offer a similar spicy kick and are available in four sizes: four, eight and 12 pieces, the release said. Customers also have their choice of a dipping sauce.

Pricing information wasn’t immediately available.
