The Southern California-based fast casual restaurant chain Farmer Boys is known for offering a fresh take on QSR classics and now it is doing the same with its new Loaded Fried Chicken Sandwiches.

Just as the name suggests, the new Loaded Fried Chicken Sandwiches are piled high with toppings. The dish starts with an all-natural chicken breast, which is double-battered for extra crispiness and seasoned with a unique blend of spices before it's fried to crispy perfection. The chicken is then topped with a fresh combo of avocado, bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, and tomato – all served on a locally baked toasted brioche bun. The Classic version of the sandwich also comes with mayonnaise and dill pickles, while the Fiery version is served with house-made Fiery Farmer's Sauce.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Stacked Fried Chicken Sandwiches:** The trend of loading up fried chicken sandwiches with multiple toppings.
- **All-natural, Double-battered Chicken:** The trend of using all-natural chicken and double-battering it for extra crispiness.
- **Locally Baked Toasted Brioche Buns:** The trend of using locally sourced and baked brioche buns for a fresh twist on an American classic.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fast Casual Restaurants:** Fast casual restaurants have an opportunity to capitalize on the trend of loaded fried chicken sandwiches with unique toppings to differentiate themselves from competitors.
- **All-natural Chicken Suppliers:** All-natural chicken suppliers have an opportunity to market their products to fast casual restaurants looking to differentiate themselves with higher quality ingredients.
- **Local Bakeries:** Local bakeries have an opportunity to provide freshly baked brioche buns to fast casual restaurants looking to source locally and offer a unique twist on classic sandwiches.
