April 25, 2025
Wienerschnitzel will launch Southern Bird Dogs April 28 at more than 300 restaurants. The Bird Dogs are crispy fried chicken tenders served on hot dog buns with any number of toppings, according to a press release.
Each of Wienerschnitzel's Southern Bird Dogs start with a marinated chicken breast tender coated in a signature crunchy breading, then placed in a hot dog bun. Southern Bird Dogs come in three flavors:
- Bacon Ranch – Served with a chicken breast tender, diced bacon, 2 slices of tomato and ranch.
- Buffalo Ranch – Served with a chicken breast tender, 2 slices of tomato, ranch and buffalo sauce.
- BBQ – Served with a chicken breast tender, grilled onions, pickle spear and BBQ sauce.
The Southern Bird Dogs come a la carte and in regular and large combo meals.
"South Carolina is known for its Southern Bird Dogs. Since they are served in hot dog buns, we felt like this was the perfect way to introduce chicken at our restaurants. Once we tried them, we knew we had a winner," Doug Koegeboehn, Wienerschnitzel's CMO, said in the release.
Wienerschnitzel is based in Irvine, California, and has nearly 350 restaurants in 10 states.
