Sauce-Smothered Chicken Bites

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sonic Sauced Jumbo Popcorn Chicken are Made with All-White Meat

— February 5, 2020 — Lifestyle
The Sonic Sauced Jumbo Popcorn Chicken are being launched by the QSR brand at select locations in the US to offer consumers a new take on its popular menu item. The new chicken dish will feature all-white meat chicken bites covered in either Honey BBQ or Buffalo sauce to make them a sweet or savory option to choose over the sauceless original. The chicken snack includes bite-sized pieces, which are formulated to be quite substantial when compared to other varieties from other brands to make them a satisfying option that works as a snack or part of a meal.

The Sonic Sauced Jumbo Popcorn Chicken is only available for a limited time and can also be ordered with sauce on the side, if desired.
