With Wendy’s new limited time only Spicy Sriracha Chicken Sandwich, the chain didn’t just top a regular chicken sandwich with sriracha sauce and then call it a day.
The sandwich not only comes with a sriracha aioli, but also a special Sriracha Jack Cheese and toasted Sriracha-infused bakery-style bun. It also comes with Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Breast, thick-cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, spring mix, and red onion.
The sandwich has 670 calories, 35 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 110 milligrams of cholesterol, 1690 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, and 39 grams of protein.
