The Lay's Kettle Cooked Buffalo Chicken Dip chips are a limited-edition snack being launched exclusively at Subway locations to provide consumers with a way to enjoy the flavor of the game day appetizer in an alternative format.
The chips are achieved with kettle-cooked potato chips that are covered in a blend of flavoring that includes a spicy buffalo sauce and a rich, cheesy finish. The snack is positioned as the perfect pairing with your choice of sandwich when visiting a participating Subway restaurant thanks to its cheesy flavor with a kick of heat.
The Lay's Kettle Cooked Buffalo Chicken Dip chips are arriving in 1.375-ounce bags on the chip rack at Subway restaurants, but will only be available at participating locations for a limited time.
