Limited-Time-Only Chicken Sandwich Adds a Sweet and Spicy Kick to Iconic Burger Chain’s Menu

LOS ANGELES , June 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fatburger announces the launch of Mike’s Hot Honey® Crispy Chicken Sandwich, available for a limited time. The sweet and spicy mash-up is the first Fatburger and Mike’s Hot Honey® collaboration, with both brands working together to create a one-of-a-kind offering that will “wow” chicken sandwich enthusiasts. Customers can order the Mike’s Hot Honey® Crispy Chicken Sandwich online and in-store at participating Fatburger locations from June 14 through September 4, 2022.

Sweet ‘n’ spicy ‘n’ ultra-crispy, the Mike’s Hot Honey® Crispy Chicken Sandwich features Fatburger’s signature hand-breaded, crispy chicken breast with pickles, bacon, and a generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey® to deliver a perfect balance of sweetness and heat.

Guests are invited to come out on Friday, June 24 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in their best drip and enjoy a free sandwich before they leave dripping with branded bucket hats, fanny packs, and more while supplies last.

About Mike’s Hot Honey
Mike’s Hot Honey has been elevating everyday eating experiences since 2010, when its first drizzle on a pizza at Paulie Gee’s in Brooklyn sparked a word-of-mouth sensation and created a new category of pizza topping. By popular demand, Founder Mike Kurtz started selling his small batch, hand-labeled hot honey bottles to visitors of the pizzeria, as well as other local restaurants and businesses. Today, Mike’s Hot Honey can be found in thousands of restaurants and retailers across the country, with the same original recipe in the bottle.
