Just ahead of Halloween, Bojangles is debuting its new hand-breaded Bo Bites and adding an immersive, Halloween-themed drive-thru experience at its flagship Charlotte restaurant.
Leaning all the way into the Halloween theme, Bojangles has set up a nugget graveyard to signal the end of its Nuggets and the debut of its "scary good" new Bo Bites. The Bo Bites consists of bite-sized, hand-breaded chicken tender pieces that are perfectly designed for snacking and dipping. As Tom Boland, Chief Marketing Officer at Bojangles, explains, "We invite our fans to sink their teeth into something new, and Bo Bites are the perfect way to do that—packed with the legendary taste they love in a bite-sized form. So, RIP Nuggets because Bojangles’ Bo Bites are here, and they are scary good."
