Wendy's is heating up its menu with the launch of the new Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Ghost Pepper Fries. The ghost pepper is one of the hottest peppers in the world and not often found on menus, Wendy's said in a press release.

The Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich features Wendy's signature spicy blend and 100% all white meat chicken breast, topped with fresh, diced jalapenos and specially made ghost pepper sauce, and capped with a bakery-inspired, freshly toasted red jalapeno bun. The heat is complemented with savory flavors from warm, melty cheese sauce, delicious Colby Pepper Jack cheese and a crunchy red onion. The Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich has a recommended price of $4.99. 

The Ghost Pepper Fries are smothered in cheese sauce, and then topped with diced, fresh jalapenos, shredded cheddar cheese and a ghost pepper sauce. The Ghost Pepper Fries have a recommended price of $1.99. 

Wendy's YouTubevideo will showcase the new items by taking viewers behind the scenes of a flavor-tasting research facility to view consumer reactions to their first bites of the Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Ghost Pepper Fries
