Recent quick service restaurant innovations have been all about the saucy nuggets. Wendy’s new chicken sandwich continues that sauce trend. Hungry for the first bite of Cajun Crunch Chicken Sandwich?
It has been a big year for Wendy’s. The large-scale expansion of the Frosty menu has proven to be quite successful for the restaurant brand who appreciates that the customer always comes first. While everyone loves pairing those hot and crispy fries with a Frosty, the company understands that the whole menu needs to be considered. A sweet ending might be delicious, but the entrée is just as important.
The new Cajun Crunch Chicken Sandwich is the latest food item joining the menu. While the classic crispy chicken has taken on many forms, this version is a New Orleans-inspired option. It is throwing it out there that there are many kitchens in the Big Easy that can make a tasty chicken sandwich.
Starting with the spicy chicken, the protein is topped with Pepper Jack cheese, Cajun-seasoned crispy onions, tangy pickles, and lettuce. While the underlying spice is tasty, the onions are a game changer. The added texture with the seasoning ensures that every bite is bold.
The whole sandwich is smothered in a spicy mustard. That tanginess is vital to add flavor depth. While other sandwiches might go with a traditional remoulade, the spicy mustard with the pickles is perfect. It is the flavor bomb that will get people back for more.
While the Baconator might be a staple and when the Dave’s Jr is a tasty smaller bite, the reality is that a chicken sandwich is just as important. When a quick service brand can innovate without losing its identity, fans will keep placing another order.
In addition to the Cajun Crunch Chicken Sandwich, Wendy’s is adding a Tangerine Twist Lemonade. The newest addition to the Dave’s Craft Lemonade lineup the zesty beverage is a celebration of citrus flavors. The tangerine with strawberry, orange, and lemonade squeezes all the citrus notes to bring a cacophony of flavors.
While it is welcome refreshment on a warm day, expanding the lemonade line-up is smart. Over the past couple of years, the lemonade flavors have proven to be quite successful. This sweet option pairs with a variety of food items and is equally as enjoyable on its own.
