Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken has thrown its hat in the chicken sandwich ring with the release of its brand new Chicken Sandwich.
Lee’s new Chicken Sandwich comes in both Spicy and Famous varieties. The sandwich itself starts with a four-ounce hand-battered and honey-dipped white meat chicken fillet paired with chipotle ranch dressing, dill pickles, and served on a toasted brioche bun. The level of spice can be controlled by choosing either the Spicy or Famous Recipe flavor. As President and CEO of Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken Chuck Cooper explains, the brand is excited to roll out the new chicken sandwich offering, adding "if our test markets are any indication, our operators across the country are going to be even busier than they are now."
