Hardee’s brand marketing director Mallory Jones said: “At Hardee’s, we’re all about offering the homestyle foods our guests crave. We’re expanding our famous chicken lineup with just the right amount of spice.

“The flavours speak for themselves. While there’s a nod to our Tennessee headquarters, we know guests across the country will love this new flavour.”

Starting 13 September, the new menu addition will be offered to guests in-store and online through the Hardee’s App.

The new menu item will be rolled out across all of Hardee’s participating locations and will be a permanent addition to Hardee’s menu.
