Available for just a limited time this spring, the new Loaded Fries are a sweet, savory, and spicy side that's big on flavor. The new dish consists of Abyr's signature crinkle fries topped with a warm cheddar cheese sauce, pieces of diced chicken nuggets, [chopped bacon bits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-guacamole-bacon-fries), and a drizzle of a brand-new Sweet & Spicy Sauce. The result is a unique take on cheese fries, but with a bit of extra protein courtesy of the chicken and bacon. The new Loaded Fries dish can be found now at locations across the U.S. for a limited time, but only while supplies last.
