The Franklin, Tennessee-headquartered Carl’s Jr. fast food chain, well known for burger innovations, is debuting a Western Bacon Chicken Sandwich. Taking its cues from its Western Bacon Cheeseburger, this limited time menu offering is available through May 12 for $5.99 at participating restaurants in the United States,
Served on a seeded bun, the sandwich features a premium, all-white chicken fillet, dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded and fried to a golden brown, topped with two strips of Cherrywood bacon, melted American cheese, crispy onion rings and tangy Western Barbecue sauce.
“Everyone is fighting the chicken wars, but they forgot to bring the flavor,” said Paz Romero, vice president of brand marketing. “We’re reminding people that Carl’s Jr. is the only destination for those who are tired of bland sandwiches and crave layers of flavor with our crispy, juicy, breaded chicken.”
Meanwhile, on April 8 the chain will bring popular flavors from its burger assortment into a dipping sauce lineup for customers who want to level up their side orders and chicken tenders. On tap will be Diablo Habanero Ranch from the El Diablo Burger, Santa Fe from the Charbroiled Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich, and Western Barbecue from the Western Bacon Cheeseburger
Two additional sauces are joining the lineup, bringing bold new flavors to the table. Garlic Parmesan features a creamy, herby and cheesy flavor profile, and Heinz Ranch delivers a cool and tangy dipping experience.
“Our goal with introducing these sauces is to blend traditional, delicious flavors with a new way to customize the meals our fans love,” said Romero. “People are always talking about how much they love the sauces on our burgers and sandwiches, so we’re excited to expand them into our chicken lineup and see the different ways people dip and devour these new flavor combinations.”
