# Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwiches Hardee's Has a New BLT Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2023-04-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blt-handbreaded-chicken-sandwich References: [chewboom](https://www.chewboom.com/2023/04/20/hardees-introduces-new-blt-hand-breaded-chicken-sandwich/)  [Hardee’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-nashville-hot-chicken) is offering a fresh twist on its signature hand-breaded chicken with the launch of its new [BLT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-frisco-blt) Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich. This new offering is somewhat similar to the BLT Ranch Chicken Sandwich the band offered back in the summer of 2021. A cross between a chicken sandwich and a bacon, lettuce, and tomato (BLT) sandwich, the new offering has a little bit of everything. The sandwich starts with a premium [hand-breaded chicken fillet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-sandwich-menu) that's paired with crispy bacon, sliced tomato, crisp lettuce, and mayonnaise on a soft potato bun. The sandwich can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a combo served with your choice of side dish and a fountain drink. The new BLT Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich is available now for a limited time.
