Hardee's adds trio of chicken tender sandwiches

June 26, 2012

Hardee's has expanded its line-up of hand-breaded chicken tenders, with three new varieties of sandwiches. Now available at all Hardee's locations, the hand-breaded chicken tender sandwiches, in original, honey mustard and bacon Swiss, are freshly prepared, battered and breaded by hand.

"Our customers simply love the taste and quality of our famous hand-breaded chicken tenders because they're made the way you would make them at home – by hand, using the tenderloin of the chicken breast that we batter with buttermilk and egg and then bread with seasoned flour," said Brad Haley, chief marketing officer for Hardee's.

Hand-breaded chicken tenders were introduced two years ago and have been offered as Wrappers for snack occasions and as boneless Buffalo wings.

"So, it was no surprise that when we tried them as a sandwich on a bun, they were just as delicious and unlike any chicken sandwich available at other hamburger fast food chains. And, because we make them ourselves by hand, we can even offer them at more attractive prices than most of those other chains that use previously-fried and frozen chicken in their sandwiches," Haley added.

The sandwiches feature two hand-breaded chicken tenders dipped in a buttermilk and egg batter, dusted with seasoned flour, fried, topped with lettuce and tomato, and served on a seeded bun. The original is sauced with mayo; the honey mustard features its namesake sauce; and the bacon Swiss comes with two strips of bacon, Swiss cheese and buttermilk ranch dressing.

The original and honey mustard hand-breaded chicken tender sandwiches are available for $2.79 as an entrée or $4.79 as a small combo with natural cut french fries and a beverage. The bacon Swiss hand-breaded chicken tender sandwich costs $3.69 as an entrée or $5.69 as a small combo with natural cut french fries and a beverage.
