With a growing number of Americans looking for an alternative to the classic turkey and stuffing Thanksgiving dinner, Hardee's has announced the launch of the Hardee’s Thanksgiving in a Box at select test locations in Jacksonville, Florida.
Hardee’s Thanksgiving in a Box is the chain's first-ever seasonal meal and is designed to give consumers a quick and easy alternative to turkey. The holiday meal box will include fresh takes on classic Thanksgiving dishes such as Stuffing Chicken Tenders, Toasted Onion Coated Green Beans, Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, and Savory Chicken Gravy.
The new Hardee’s Thanksgiving in a Box meal was created by the brand after extensive research into American's Thanksgiving habits. As the brand has found, nearly two-thirds of consumers are ready to swap the standard turkey for something else.
