Tim Hortons UK has announced two new menu items that are meant to surprise and delight customers with their unexpectedly sweet and savoy flavors to work well for those seeking out something out of the ordinary. The brand has debuted the Cheesy Loaded Timbits and the Chicken Donut Sandwich, which are each characterized by their savory flavor. The Cheesy Loaded Timbits consist of donut holes topped with cheese, while the Chicken Donut Sandwich features two donuts acting as the bun for a fried chicken fillet that's paired with a sweet sauce.
Head of Marketing at Tim Hortons UK Louise Buet spoke on the brand's latest menu items saying, "To launch our new menu we wanted to celebrate our famous Canadian kindness, so we’re only making it available to those who share the same values. Whilst you need to be nice in order to get your hands on the latest items, some of them are a little bit naughty. Our Timbits® (iconic donut bites) have had a savoury spin, and the Old Fashioned Glazed Donut Chicken Sandwich is an unexpected treat that delivers the perfect balance of savoury and sweet. If you want to try the new arrivals then you need to be on your best behaviour!”
