Zaxbys goes big on chicken bacon ranch

Zaxbys goes big on chicken bacon ranch

Few combinations have stood the test of time like chicken bacon ranch, and now Zaxbys is tapping into the demand, launching a lineup of three new items featuring the flavor profile.

The lineup is available now and includes:

  • Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap Meal: A Giant Chicken Finger Wrap with three hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz, mixed greens with carrots and red cabbage, Cheddar Jack cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a drizzle of ranch wrapped in a flour tortilla. Served with Crinkle Fries and small drink, this meal is also available with grilled chicken. Zaxbys introduced Giant Chicken Finger Wraps in April.
  • Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla: A Giant Quesadilla with three hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz, Cheddar Jack cheese, hardwood smoke bacon and ranch on a flour tortilla; made-to-order.
  • Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries: Crinkle Fries topped with hand-breaded fried chicken, Cheddar Jack cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, and ranch.

Chicken bacon ranch items have become quite popular on menus of late. Taco Bell added a Chicken Bacon Street Chalupa in February, for instance, while Domino’s launched a Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza in November.

Zaxbys is also bringing back its Banana Pudding Milkshake for the summer, mixed with vanilla wafer pieces and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. It is available through Aug. 30.

Zaxbys brought back its signature milkshakes last year after a 7-year hiatus. In a recent interview, Chief Marketing Officer Patrick Schwing said the company was looking for opportunities to both expand check sizes and delight consumers.
