— February 17, 2021 — Lifestyle

The sandwich comes in three varieties to choose from including the Classic Jalapeño Popper Sandwich, the Spicy Jalapeño Popper Sandwich and the Grilled Jalapeño Popper Sandwich. Each of the sandwiches provide a varying level of heat for consumers to choose from along with a premium serving of chicken.

The Wendy's Jalapeño Popper Sandwich is available now for purchase at participating locations nationwide, but will only be available for a limited time. The sandwich range targets consumer interest in spicy flavor varieties during the winter months as they seek out ways to warm up through their favorite foods.
