Around this time in 1776, residents of Pennsylvania and the other 12 colonies were getting ready to proclaim their independence from one king. Today, another king is offering you a deal.

In celebration of the weekend before the Fourth of July, Burger King is offering its regular Original Chicken Sandwich for just $1.04 at participating locations.

The offer ends today and is good only on a la carte purchases of the sandwich. To learn more, visit www.bk.com.
