Wendy's Canada recently announced the expansion of the chain's popular chicken sandwich lineup with the debut of the all-new Fired Up Chicken Sandwich.
Just as the name suggests, the new Fired Up Chicken Sandwich is a fiery take on a classic fried chicken sandwich. The new sandwich starts with an all-white meat chicken breast that's been breaded with the brand's unique spice blend. The spicy chicken is then topped with jalapeño peppers, a slice of jalapeño-infused cheese, sriracha cheese sauce, crispy onion tanglers, and mayo – all served on a premium bun. The result is a perfect balance between spicy and savory.
The new Fired Up Chicken Sandwich is available from participating Wendy's locations across Canada now for just a limited time.
