Wendy's (Finally) Adds Chicken Tenders to Its Menu. Meet Wendys Tendys.
Wendy's introduces Tendys chicken tenders with six dipping sauces, targeting growing chicken demand that now accounts for 37% of quick-service restaurant food spend, Numerator reports.
- On Tuesday, The Wendy's Company added chicken tenders called Tendys to its core U.S. menu, fulfilling a pledge by Ken Cook, CFO and interim-CEO, with a nationwide rollout.
- Earlier this year, Wendy's tested crispy, breaded tenders, citing rising chicken demand and its lower cost versus beef as key reasons for the addition.
- Made with all-white-meat and seasoned breading, Wendy's Tendys feature crunch and juiciness, and Lindsay Radkoski said, "Chicken innovation is in our DNA at Wendy's, and we've tapped into our years of chicken experience to craft our new Wendy's Tendys."
- Select Wendy's restaurants will be rebranded as 'Tendy's' this October to promote the new tenders, as Wendy's could use a boost after two straight quarters of same-store sales declines.
- Following McDonald's McCrispy Strips, Wendy's entry heightens the chicken-menu wars as chicken accounts for about 37% of food spend within the quick-service restaurant sector, per Numerator report.
