In an effort to meet the growing demand for takeout options, 7-Eleven has just unveiled a new lineup of ready-to-bake chicken tenders, pizzas, and more.
7-Eleven's new ready-to-bake offerings were created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the demand for more take-home meal options. The new lineup of dishes includes ready-to-bake chicken tenders that can be prepared simply by popping them in the oven. The convenience store chain is also offering cheese and pepperoni pizzas, breaded boneless wings, buffalo and spicy bone-in wings, and some cheesy Monterrey Jack chicken taquitos.
The new ready-to-bake options are available for takeout from participating 7-Eleven locations nationwide. Some markets are also offering delivery through the 7NOW delivery app.
