The demand for [fried chicken sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-sandwich-menu) is showing no signs of slowing down and [Bojangles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bos-carolina-gold-chicken-sandwich) is giving the people exactly what they want with its all-new [Bo’s Chicken Sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-bos-bird-dog).

Bo’s Chicken Sandwich is officially launching chain-wide after a successful test launch earlier this year. The savory sandwich starts with a marinated chicken breast that's been hand-breaded with a crispy buttermilk coating and then dusted with a secret spice mix. To pair with the chicken, Bojangles has layered zesty mayonnaise and thick-cut dill pickles on a toasted and buttered bakery bun.

The new Bo’s Chicken Sandwich can now be found at participating locations across the country, with the option to enjoy the sandwich a la carte or upgrade to a combo meal.
