Spicy Chicken Tender Wraps

Hardee's is Testing New Nashville Hot Tender Chicken Wraps

Hardee’s appears to be the latest QSR brand jumping aboard the Nashville hot chicken train with the launch of its new Nashville Hot Tender Chicken Wraps.

The new Nashville Hot Tender Chicken Wraps are currently a test item that's only available from select locations across Florida, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Each wrap consists of premium, all-white meat chicken tenders that have been hand-dipped in buttermilk and then lightly breaded and fried. The chicken tenders are also paired with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and Nashville Hot Seasoning, all wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla.

The new Nashville Hot Tender Chicken Wraps will join the brand's existing lineup of tender chicken wraps, which includes the Ranch Tender Wraps, BBQ Tender Wraps, Honey Mustard Tender Wraps, and Creamy Buffalo Tender Wraps.
