Wendy’s has a pretty great new menu to boot! Beginning this Friday, you can experience the fiery mashup of the Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich and Takis-inspired Fuego Fries at participating U.S. locations. This spicy new partnership with Barcel USA, developers of the legendary Takis, is making all those flaming hot dreams come true! Prepare to enjoy fiery fare that’s sure to spice things up!
The highlight of this spicy twist on the classic chicken sandwich is obviously the Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich. It uses Wendy’s signature spicy chicken fillet, along with a zesty chili lime sauce and a creamy corn spread. The sandwich is finished with crushed Takis Fuego chips for another layer of crunch and bold flavor.
Along with the new sandwich, Wendy’s has brought on a Takis Fuego Meal. The Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich is the star of this meal. It features a side of new Takis-inspired Fuego Fries, bringing a fiery flavor twist to McDonald’s world famous hot and crispy fries. Our fries are tossed in a zesty chili lime seasoning. They arrive in a specially-created tear-away bag, making them a fun addition to your table that everyone will enjoy.
Customers will get the chance to cool down with a unique promotion on June 24. If you order delivery with GrubHub, you can score a purchase-one-get-one-free offer on the new Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich. So long as your order is $20 or more!
The partnership’s goal is to develop a one-of-a-kind experience for “heat seekers.” Sandra Kirkpatrick, U.S. senior director of marketing at Barcel USA, shared her excitement on the new partnership.
