TL;DR

Zaxby's introduces 'Zax Pack Hacks' for make-at-home meals using take-out ingredients, capitalizing on changing consumer behaviors driven by the pandemic. The recipes are fast, customizable and can be doubled or tripled to feed groups.

“People are cooking more and looking for ways to spice up their meals,” said Joel Bulger, Zaxby’s CMO. “We got creative in the kitchen and came up with some really delicious recipes using Zaxby’s existing menu items. It’s a fun way for our guests to experiment with their favorite dishes.”

The recipe for BBQ Bacon Cheddar Fries calls for shredded cheddar cheese and bacon in addition to 2 cups of Zaxby’s crinkle fries, five boneless wings and one Zaxby’s ranch sauce cup. The one-pan dish is easy to make as a sharable appetizer or a stand-alone meal for two with Zaxby’s distinct BBQ flavor profile. Click here to view the recipe.

Zaxby’s Skillet Scramble is made with two Chicken Fingerz and crinkle fries plus eggs, shredded cheese, salsa and a bell pepper. Chop the Chicken Fingerz and dice 1/2 cup of fries per serving and sauté in a skillet. Then use the same skillet to scramble the eggs. Zaxby’s Skillet Scramble can be served on a plate or rolled up in a tortilla as a burrito. Find the full directions here.
