Shaquille O’Neal's growing chicken concept, Big Chicken, just announced the launch of a new item called 'Dunks.'
Just as its name suggests, Big Chicken is known for big portions and big flavors, and its new Dunks are no exception. The Dunks are essentially the chain's take on a classic chicken nugget, but much bigger. Though still smaller than actual chicken tender pieces, the Dunks are essentially the perfect size for eating with your hands, but with plenty of surface area for dipping.
The new Dunks item can be purchased in orders of 10 or 12 pieces, and they are served with your choice of one of Big Chicken’s six signature sauces. You also also add fries and a drink to make it a complete meal.
