Wendy's is updating its 'Classic Chicken Sandwich' with a new chicken fillet that's more flavorful, and adding a few refreshed toppings that perfectly complement the fan favorite.
The sandwich comes with a "premium all-white meat chicken breast that is juicy and crispy," which is topped with mayonnaise, tomato, pickles, and lettuce. A toasted bun holds the sandwich together. The juicy chicken fillet is also being included on other popular orders at the chain, including the 'Bacon Jalapeno Chicken Sandwich,' 'Asiago Ranch Chicken Club,' and 'Pretzel Bacon Pub Chicken Sandwich.'
Wendy's Chief Marketing Officer Carl Loredo spoke to the update, stating "We can’t wait for our fans to get their hands on the New Classic Chicken Sandwich which has the perfect crunch from breading and pickles paired with the juiciness and flavor of the fillet."
