Wood-Fired Rotisserie Chain Serves Up Delicious Sandwiches and New Sides That Pair Perfectly with the Season
It’s summertime, and the eating is easy at Cowboy Chicken. The Dallas-based fast casual chain, renowned for its all-natural, wood-fired rotisserie chicken, is gearing up for the season with a scorching-hot lineup of the best sandwiches, sides and salads under the sun.
“There’s something about summer that just calls for big flavor,” says Sean Kennedy, president and CEO of Cowboy Chicken. “Our signature chicken and made-from-scratch sides are ideal for any picnic, backyard bash or summertime lunch or dinner.”
Leading the charge is a pair of Texas-sized sandwiches. The trusty Laredo is a favorite for its generous helping of rotisserie chicken breast topped with house-made guacamole, chipotle mayo, seasoned chicken cracklins and melted cheese on a freshly toasted bun. Not to be outdone, the tasty BBQ chicken sandwich earns its spurs with a heap of pulled chicken slathered with Cowboy Chicken’s tangy BBQ sauce and melted cheese, also served on a toasted bun.
Guests can complement these satisfying sandwiches with a pair of sides newly added to the regular menu. The roasted veggies side boasts a skillet filled with cauliflower, broccoli, red onion and carrots, while the Kaleblazer slaw is a hearty mix of kale, Brussels sprouts, Napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, radicchio, cranberries and slivered almonds, drizzled with a blush wine vinaigrette.
Since nothing partners with a summer meal quite like watermelon, Cowboy Chicken is offering two ways to enjoy the taste of this delicious summer staple. All season long, guests can order juicy, fresh-cut watermelon slices as a side, or enjoy a refreshing glass of the popular watermelon tea. Inspired by generations of Texas watermelon growers, this tea marries Cowboy Chicken’s signature watermelon flavoring with its light character black tea.
And don’t forget dessert! A sizable serving of peach or blackberry cobbler, made fresh daily, is sure to satisfy the most selective sweet tooth.
These seasonal offerings are accompanied by the restaurant’s roundup of savory summer salads, including the Monterey, the Southwest chicken salad, the West Texas Caesar, the tangy tomato and cucumber and the fresh, flavorful garden salad. Salad dressings include house-made ranch, balsamic vinaigrette, chili lime and house dressing. Local dressing options may also be available, depending on location.
Cowboy Chicken serves all-natural, hormone-free rotisserie chickens that are hand-seasoned in store, marinated for 24 hours and then slowly roasted for two hours over a real wood-burning fire. Hearty and healthy dishes are available during lunch and dinner for dine-in, take out, catering and delivery. On-the-go diners can order on the Cowboy Chicken app, available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which allows guests to order ahead, pay with their phone at checkout and earn rewards.
