## Story

Few combinations have stood the test of time like chicken bacon ranch, and now Zaxbys is tapping into the demand, launching a lineup of three new items featuring the flavor profile.

The lineup is available now and includes:

- Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap Meal: A Giant Chicken Finger Wrap with three hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz, mixed greens with carrots and red cabbage, Cheddar Jack cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a drizzle of ranch wrapped in a flour tortilla. Served with Crinkle Fries and small drink, this meal is also available with grilled chicken. Zaxbys introduced Giant Chicken Finger Wraps in April.

- Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla: A Giant Quesadilla with three hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz, Cheddar Jack cheese, hardwood smoke bacon and ranch on a flour tortilla; made-to-order.

- Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries: Crinkle Fries topped with hand-breaded fried chicken, Cheddar Jack cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, and ranch.

Chicken bacon ranch items have become quite popular on menus of late. Taco Bell added a Chicken Bacon Street Chalupa in February, for instance, while Domino’s launched a Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza in November.

Zaxbys is also bringing back its Banana Pudding Milkshake for the summer, mixed with vanilla wafer pieces and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. It is available through Aug. 30.

Zaxbys brought back its signature milkshakes last year after a 7-year hiatus. In a recent interview, Chief Marketing Officer Patrick Schwing said the company was looking for opportunities to both expand check sizes and delight consumers.
