Taco Bell has begun testing chicken tenders in 2 cities today as the fast-food giant looks to attempt to compete with Popeyes and Chik-fil-A.
The two popular chicken-based restaurants have recently gained an enormous amount of attention after Popeyes added a chicken sandwich to their menu, sparking a viral, online debate on whether or not Popeyes’ sandwich was better than Chik-fil-A‘s. In an attempt to catch the viral chicken wave, Taco Bell has decided to start offering chicken tenders.
“The new chicken tenders are marinated in a jalapeño buttermilk mixture, giving them a slightly spicy kick. They’re coated in tortilla-chip crumbs and served with a new sauce.” – Business Insider
The new tenders will be tested in Houston, Texas and Dayton, Ohio before launching nationally in 2020.
