Johnny Rockets partners with Eggo on a Chicken and Waffles Sandwich

While stepping into a Johnny Rockets has a nostalgic feel, the menu is never dated. Although many people love a burger, fries and shake combination, a new offering puts a sweet and savory choice front and center. As the first fast casual offering for Eggo, the new Chicken and Waffles Sandwich will have many people running to get that first taste.

Chicken and waffles have become a favorite brunch offering. The combination of savory, fried chicken with a sweet waffle is the best of breakfast and dinner. While there are many versions of this food offering, many people are always looking for a new take.

The Johnny Rockets menu item uses Eggo Homestyle Waffles as the bun for this chicken sandwich. Sandwiched between those Eggo waffles are crispy chicken strips and bacon, which is drizzled with sweet syrup.

The choice to use the Eggo Homestyle Waffles is a smart choice for Johnny Rockets. The thicker, fluffy waffles mimic what would be made at home. The texture is a lovely contrast to the crispy chicken. While the waffles have a touch of sweetness, the syrup drizzle with the unctuous bacon brings everything together.

Although the concept of chicken and waffles might have started as a brunch meal, Johnny Rockets believes that the dish can go transcend morning, noon, and night. Although it is only a limited time menu item, this offering reflects a desire to give guests what they are craving. From a dish that hits all eating occasions to adding variety to the menu, the chicken and waffles sandwich fits all the scenarios.

Since a great Johnny Rockets menu item begs to be paired with a shake, the restaurant is offering new Iced Coffee Shakes. Available in Vanilla Iced Coffee and Mocha Iced Coffee, it seems that the fast casual restaurant is celebrating a brunch vibe that can be enjoyed any time of the day.

If that Chicken and Waffles Sandwich has spiked a craving, better act quickly. The menu item will disappear on April 30. But, maybe guests could take to social media to share how it should be a permanent menu item. As seen in other scenarios, vocal consumers can influence brands’ decisions.
