The new Jalapeño Popper Chicken Sandwich boasts Wendy’s iconic juicy spicy chicken fillet fans have come to know and love while also featuring creamy jalapeño cream cheese and six slices of jalapenos (yes, six) for an added kick, that really packs delicious heat. Not to mention the three strips of Wendy’s beloved Applewood smoked bacon, warm cheddar cheese and shredded pepper jack cheese, all placed between a warm, premium toasted bun – elevating the bland chicken sandwich experience you get from the other guys.
