Bojangles joins the crowded chicken sandwich war with its own ‘cluckin’ sandwich

Bojangles is upgrading its chicken game with the launch of an all-new fried chicken sandwich.

The Charlotte-based chicken chain teased the debut of its new Bo’s Chicken Sandwich last month, cementing its spot among competitors in the so-called chicken sandwich wars.

Chicken lovers can get their first taste of the hand-breaded sandwich, which hit menus on Monday.

We can say with confidence that Bo’s Chicken Sandwich is so cluckin’ good you know it could only be Bojangles,” Chef Marshall Scarborough, vice president of menu and culinary innovation for Bojangles, said in a statement.

The new sandwich costs $3.99 and features a seasoned fried chicken breast topped with a zesty mayonnaise and thick-cut dill pickles, all nestled between a buttered, toasted bun. It’s similar, and simpler, than the Cajun chicken sandwich currently offered on Bojangles menu; that one also has a fried chicken breast but comes with mayo, lettuce and tomato.

Customers looking for a healthier option can opt for the grilled version.

Kicking off in 2019, the so-called chicken sandwich wars has spawned a host of new chicken options from fast-food chains including Popeyes, KFC, Burger King and even Taco Bell.

Fans can order the new Bo’s Chicken Sandwich in-store, online or on the new Bojangles App.

    North Korea will take more action to maintain its military power despite U.S. sanctions pressure that has only made the country stronger, a North Korean foreign ministry official said on Thursday. "U.S. heinous sanctions served as a catalyst and driving force that unleashed a gradual increase in our national strength," state KCNA news agency cited a North Korean senior foreign ministry official as saying, referring to its nuclear tests prompted by international sanctions led by Washington. Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said on Wednesday that the country would press on with its "overwhelming" military buildup in response to frequent U.S. military drills with South Korea.

  • How a Fed rate cut delay is impacting commercial real estate

    The impact of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates higher for longer has filtered into a large swath of the economy, including commercial real estate. According to the Wall Street Journal, big banks have set aside large reserves in case the commercial real estate sector begins to truly falter. Marcus & Millichap CEO Hessam Nadji (MMI) joins Yahoo Finance for the latest edition of Real Estate: The New Reality to give insight into to the connections between the Fed cutting interest rates and the sentiment around commercial real estate. Nadji lays out some of the correlation between the Fed and the sector: "There's a direct correlation between the groups, the entire sector's valuation movement, and Fed sentiment. We saw a big run-up in the sector's valuations late last year when interest rates were coming in. The 10-year Treasury had peaked around 5% and then boom, all the way back down to 4% and you saw the stock prices go up accordingly and when the Fed basically changed its mind again given the inflation readings of the last couple of weeks coming in hotter than expected and now the notion of delaying the easing cycle you see the stocks are under pressure again so there's a direct correlation between Fed expectations and interest rates."

  • China's BYD seeks to redefine luxury for the EV generation

    Chinese EV maker BYD will showcase its premium brand's first sedan at the Beijing auto show from Thursday, in a challenge to the likes of Germany's Mercedes-Benz which three years ago pulled out of the brand's development citing slow sales. The Denza Z9GT is the fruit of BYD founder Wang Chuanfu persisting with the brand after Mercedes-Benz effectively became a sleeping partner in their decade-old 50-50 premium EV venture by cutting its stake to 10%. The car will complement Denza's N7 and N8 SUVs and D9 multipurpose vehicle, whose surging sales have contributed to BYD's EV domination at the expense of legacy foreign automakers.
