'Layne's Chicken Fingers,' the Texas-based fried chicken restaurant famous for its laser-focused menu containing only a few fried chicken foods, has added its first new menu item since the company was founded. In 1994, Layne's debuted with a menu focused on fried chicken fingers. Now, the company has grown to regional fame across Texas and the southern States.
With the increasing demand for versatile flavor options in the food industry, Layne's has added a spicy chicken option to its menu after nearly 30 years. Layne's spent a great deal of time researching which spices to use in its spicy chicken in order to create a unique product that does not taste identical to its competitors. The brand feels like it has achieved this unique statement with its now-released spicy chicken and spicy chicken fingers.
