[Church's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churchs-texas-chicken) Chicken has debuted the '[Texas Tenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texas-bbq-chicken-pile-up) 'n [Butterfly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinky-up-butterfly-boba) Shrimp Meal' available for a limited time. This meal consists of two Texas Tenders, four Butterfly Shrimps, an order of fries, and a 'Honey-Butter Biscuit.' The Texas Tenders are made with boneless all-white meat battered with a special in-house recipe made from a unique blend of spices, and the Butterfly Shrimp are similarly battered and lightly fried.

The combo costs $6 USD at participating locations and is available while supplies last. At an affordable price point of $6 considering customers get eight food items, this is an excellent way to enjoy a variety of delectable, fried goodies without breaking the bank. To sweeten the meal even further, customers can order additional dipping sauces for these fried finger foods at a price that varies by location.
