SHARON, PA., Aug. 26, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Award-Winning casual-dining franchise Quaker Steak & Lube®, known for its Best Wings USA and more than 25 sauces, announced today that participating locations nationwide will feature Top Gear Tenders. After months of culinary research, The Lube® has debuted a superior and boneless tender with exceptional flavor as a new addition to its existing menu.
"If you love chicken wings, our new Top Gear Tenders are the perfect alternative for guests who enjoy a boneless chicken breast," said Megan Duniec, Senior Director of Marketing at Quaker Steak & Lube®. "As we continue to celebrate our 40th anniversary, these new fresh chicken tenders, developed by our culinary team, will continue to prove why The Lube® is known as Best Wings USA."
Freshly sourced chicken breasts are cut into tenders, which are then marinated for eight to nine hours before being placed in a buttermilk batter. Top Gear Tenders are then hand-breaded upon order, resulting in a tender that finally lives up to its name.
Quaker Steak & Lube® offers the following ways to enjoy this new Lube-A-Licious favorite:
