Wendy’s has added new chicken tenders to the menu as part of a huge shake-up to its menu.
The delicious snacks were first spotted by @Snack_qween_ on Instagram and have gone viral on social media.
One Facebook post said the treats are “much crispier and crunchier breading than the McCrispy strips”.
They also added that they are “more like the old school chicken selects”.
Fans have gone wild for the new snacks, with one saying that “this is what the people need”.
Another wrote: “These look delicious, cuz the new strips McDonald’s have are NOT IT!”
One particularly excited foodie said: “WENDYS TENDIES??? They already have the best nuggets! This is gonna be one to watch.”
Shoppers have called upon the store to introduce a “spicy” version of the chicken tenders, like some of the other options available on the menu.
The new product is similar to the classic tenders at Popeyes – another popular chicken brand – and the chicken strips at McDonalds.
Wendy’s has 6000 locations across America and is looking to expand into other markets.
After a failed attempt to open up in the UK in the 1980s and 1990s, the company now has 42 stores in Britain.
The chain hopes its second attempt at breaking into the UK market will be more successful, with 150 locations planned to open by 2028.
Wendy’s regularly goes viral for its delicious menu and limited-edition products.
A worker at the iconic food chain revealed how millions of Americans could save more when shopping at Wendy’s.
She said that buying the $5 Biggie Bag instead of a large combo meal to get the most for your money.
The Biggie Bag includes a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, a four-piece chicken nugget order, Jr. Hot & Crispy fries and a small soft drink.
Upgrading to a larger version costs just 80 cents.
