Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Are Launching These 3 New Menu Items

The chains' latest creations were inspired by the classic BLT flavor combo.

Sister chains Carl's Jr. and Hardee's have something in store for ranch-lovers. The chains are kicking off a new line of ranch-based items that'll provide a satisfying dose of the classic BLT flavor combos.

Starting June 23, all nationwide locations will begin selling BLT Ranch Chicken Sandwiches, BLT Ranch Angus Thickburgers, and Bacon Ranch Fries—a summer trio.

And recently, the chains launched a new chicken sandwich

The two brands know hand-breaded chicken well. Their chicken tenders, which were launched 10 years ago, are a prominent fixture on the menu. The sister chains have now taken their chicken technique expertise and applied it to a trio of new items, including a Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich, which launched on May 17. At a glance, the new item seems like a clone of every single chicken sandwich currently on the market, potato bun, pickles, mayo, and all.

But according to this fast-food critic, it's a surprisingly strong contender for the top spot in the chicken sandwich wars. "The first bite left me silently stunned: succulent, flavorful, and, despite the fact that I had gotten it delivered, crunchy to the point that it rang in my ears," she wrote in her review for The Takeout.
