Milo’s has entered the spicy chicken sandwich game: What to know
Milo’s has two new spicy menu items: A thick-style Mexi burger and a spicy chicken sandwich.
The Mexi burger is topped with grilled onions, jalapenos and queso on a grilled bun. This flavorful combination offers a fusion of Mexican influences with the hearty taste Milo’s fans have come to love.
While the spicy chicken sandwich is made with two hand breaded crispy chicken tenders, pickles and Milo’s popular Boom Boom Sauce. This sandwich caters to those who crave a little more kick in their meals.
Both sandwiches have a kick of heat to them, but the Milo’s crew gave the Mexi burger a little more spice between the two. Neither will have you running to the kitchen sink faucet to cool your mouth off, but they do carry their own level of spice, such as the jalapenos on the burger and the cayenne pepper in the Boom Boom Sauce that tops the chicken sandwich.
Milo’s new spicy chicken sandwich enters the chicken sandwich competition amongst others at other popular restaurants like Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, KFC, and Zaxby’s. The sauces or the bread on the sandwiches tend to be the selling point for customers, so the Boom Boom Sauce will have to stack up against competitors.
“We are always trying to find ways to create delicious new items with existing ingredients that make sense for the brand,” said Milo’s CEO, Adam Pennebaker. “Spicy was a category we had not yet broken into and felt like a natural addition to the menu.”
Last year, the restaurant rolled out similar products, focusing on fries. Two versions of loaded fries: Saucy Milo’s Fries and Mexi fries, which are still available on their menu.
The sandwiches are all available at all Milo’s locations.
