CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – As temperatures begin to dip, The Krystal Company is turning the thermostat up on its guests’ taste buds with the introduction of a new Spicy Southern Chik Basket served with Fiesta Waffle Fries.
A spicy, crispier variation of Krystal’s popular Chik sandwich, the Spicy Southern Chik features a 100% whole breast chicken filet marinated with classic hot sauce flavors of spicy cayenne peppers, tangy vinegar and other savory seasonings, all coated with a light and crispy southern style breading. Made fresh to order, the Spicy Southern Chik is topped with a pickle and mayonnaise and served on a freshly steamed Krystal bun.
Available systemwide starting Nov. 17, the combo is served to guests in a basket that includes two Spicy Southern Chiks along with a generous helping of spicy, seasoned Fiesta Waffle Fries and a medium beverage. The complete meal is available for a suggested retail price of $4.39.
“If you’re a fan of our Spicy Chik you’re really going to love the Spicy Southern Chik. It has the same flavorful kick our guests crave but features a lighter, crispier Southern-style breading—just like mom used to make,” said Fred Exum, chief executive officer, The Krystal Company. “Combined with our Fiesta Waffle Fries, which complement the spicy flavor profile of our new Spicy Southern Chick, this new offering delivers on our promise of offering our guests a great variety of ‘big taste’ food you simply can’t get anywhere else, all at an exceptional value.”
The Spicy Southern Chik Basket with Fiesta Waffle Fries is the latest of a number of new product offerings at Krystal that complement the company’s core menu items. Krystal MilkQuakes, a new line of real ice cream milkshakes made with premium, all-natural ingredients, and Krystal Freezes, the company’s new frozen slush drink made from pure-cane sugar and fruit flavorings, are just two of the exciting new products guests can enjoy year round at their local Krystal restaurant.
