In an effort to crank up the heat this summer, Wawa has added a spicy new offering. Wawa's new Spicy Chicken Sandwich consists of a breaded chicken patty doused in [spicy Nashville hot seasoning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charleys-cheesesteaks). This piquant chicken filet is then topped with pickles and mayonnaise, and served on a soft brioche bun. As the brand pits it, "This Spicy Chicken Sandwich is made with our Nashville Hot Seasoning and served on a buttery brioche bun for a Wawa spin on a southern specialty." Of course, if you can't take the heat, you don't have to! Wawa is also serving up its Original Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which is a spice-free option.
