Chicken Bacon Ranch fans have another reason to hit the drive-thru this summer.
Fast-food chain Zaxbys is leaning into one of its most popular flavor combinations with the launch of an all-new Chicken Bacon Ranch menu, featuring three indulgent items built around the classic pairing of chicken, bacon and ranch dressing. The new lineup arrives June 29 at participating locations nationwide.
The menu showcases what the company calls its fan-favorite made-from-scratch ranch dressing, combined with hand-breaded chicken and hardwood-smoked bacon.
According to the chain, the limited-time offering includes three different ways for customers to enjoy the flavor combination that has become a staple across the fast-food industry.
The move comes as chicken chains continue to battle for customers’ attention with bold flavor combinations and limited-time menu innovations. Chicken Bacon Ranch has become one of the most popular fast-food flavor profiles in recent years, inspiring menu items at numerous major restaurant brands.
For Zaxbys, the launch is part of a busy year of menu experimentation.
In recent months, the chain has introduced giant chicken wraps, new dry-rub flavors and seasonal milkshakes as it looks to stand out in the increasingly crowded chicken category. Earlier this spring, the company rolled out Giant Chicken Finger Wraps, including a Chicken Bacon Ranch version, after customer demand for more portable meal options.
The latest launch also puts Zaxbys in more direct competition with fellow chicken chains, including Chick-fil-A, as brands continue searching for the next viral menu item.
Customers interested in trying the new Chicken Bacon Ranch lineup won’t have to wait long.
The limited-time menu is scheduled to arrive at participating Zaxby’s restaurants beginning June 29, giving fans another chance to indulge in one of fast food’s most enduring flavor combinations.
