Wendy’s has unveiled two bold new menu items to its already stacked chicken lineup.
The fast food chain's new Jalapeño Popper Chicken Sandwich and Salad are for those hungry for a much-needed chicken upgrade and built with the most advanced flavors yet, according to a company press release.
"Inspired by classic jalapeño poppers fans know and love, my culinary team took the familiar flavors of the beloved appetizer and gave it a unique Wendy's twist only we can deliver," said John Li, Vice President of Culinary Innovation for The Wendy's Company.
He added, "The new Jalapeño Popper Chicken Sandwich and Salad brings Wendy's fans a bold, innovative flavor they can't get anywhere else.”
Each sandwich includes the classic crispy chicken fillet customers love and adds creamy jalapeño cream cheese and six slices of jalapeños for an added kick.
Wendy's chicken options currently include the Classic Chicken, Spicy Chicken and Pretzel Bacon Pub Chicken Sandwich.
"While everyone else is playing catch up and distracting consumers with stale chicken drops, we are listening and bringing exciting flavors and bold ingredients forward to help fans avoid the McStake of settling for the same boring chicken sandwiches from other fast-food joints," said Carl Loredo, Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company.
"Our new Jalapeño Popper Chicken Sandwich casts a big shadow across the competition and really delivers an enhanced chicken sandwich experience. The innovation on flavor is unlike anything else out there," he added.
As an added bonus, fans can try the sandwich for free from now through Sunday by placing an order of $15 or more on Grubhub.
The sandwich and salad are also available for $5.99 and $6.79, respectively, via Wendy’s drive-thru, contactless pick-up on mobile orders, or through their app and website.
