This month, PDQ wants to set your tastebuds on fire with its new Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and then cool them down with its new Cap’n Crunch Berry Shake.
Though PQD is already known for its chicken, the chain is shaking things up with its new Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Nuggets. The sandwich is made with a crispy chicken breast coated in a spicy seasoning, while the nuggets are made with buttermilk-marinated boneless chicken breast coated in a spicy breading.
Of course, the perfect pairing for the spicy chicken offerings is the brand's new Cap’n Crunch Berry Shake. This creamy treat starts with all-natural vanilla ice cream, which is blended with Cap’n Crunch Oops All Berries, strawberries, and blackberry puree. The whole thing is then topped with whipped cream, more blackberry puree, and crushed Cap’n Crunch Oops All Berries.
