Wendy's Just Dropped a New Spicy Chicken Sandwich

This spicy sandwich is getting “9/10” reviews from Wendy’s fans online.

Fans of Wendy's iconic Spicy Chicken Sandwich are already very excited about two new items from the fast-food chain: The Cajun Crunch Chicken Sandwich and Tangerine Twist Lemonade, available now at Wendy's restaurants nationwide.

Customers who raced out to try the limited-edition sandwich are raving about how delicious it is. "It was really really good, I'd give it a 9/10… and the other regular Spicy Chicken Sandwich Wendy's has is also a 9/10, just for different reasons," one Redditor shared. "I think the best way to describe this new one is it tastes JUST like a Bloomin' Onion. I hardly even taste the cajun or spice, it tastes like bloomin' onion sauce on a chicken sandwich. So if you like Bloomin' Onion, I think you'd like it!" Here's what you need to know about these top-tier new Wendy's wonders.

So what exactly is in the Cajun Crunch Chicken Sandwich? According to Wendy's, each New Orleans-inspired sandwich contains a classic spicy chicken filet and layers it with Pepper Jack cheese, Cajun-seasoned crispy onions, pickles, lettuce, and spicy mustard sauce, on a toasted bun. Crunchy, spicy, savoriness in every bite—it sounds amazing.

The Tangerine Twist Lemonade is a "bright addition to Dave's Craft Lemonade lineup," Wendy's says. The new drink combines tangerine, strawberry, and orange for a refreshing taste that perfectly complements the Cajun Sandwich. "Unlike the other guys, Wendy's doesn't use artificial colors, flavors or high fructose corn syrup in our lemonade," the chain says.

The onions added more flavor than I expected," one Redditor shared. Others comment that they wish there was a version of the sandwich made with fish instead of chicken.
