Subway Canada is following the lead of countless other brands and offering up its own take on a fried chicken sandwich called the 'Crispy Chicken Sidekick.'
Unlike some other chicken sandwich offerings on the market, the new Crispy Chicken Sidekick is a slider-sized sandwich served on a slider-sized potato bun. Between the buns, you'll find a crispy seasoned chicken breast paired with lettuce, pickles, and a smoky honey mustard sauce. Subway Canada is also serving up a spicy version of the fried chicken slider with creamy Sriracha sauce in place of the honey mustard.
In addition to the new Crispy Chicken Sidekick, Subway Canada is also serving up a new Crispy Chicken sub made with seasoned chicken breast, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and either the smoky honey mustard sauce or the creamy Sriracha sauce.
