Hardee’s Raises the Fast Food Quality Bar. Again.

Hardee’s® knows that the best tasting food is made by people,
not machines. The chain is already famous for its Made from
Scratch™ buttermilk biscuits and renowned for its Hand-Scooped Ice
Cream Shakes & Malts™. Now Hardee’s is doing the same things
with the ubiquitous fast-food chicken strips, turning them into
something worthy of the chain’s handmade heritage.
Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders are made with all-white-meat
chicken breast tenderloins, or “tenders,” dipped in a buttermilk
and egg batter, rolled in seasoned flour and then fried to a
perfect golden brown color and crispy texture. The entire process
takes place all day long right in the restaurants.
“The idea for doing Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders came to us from
our largest franchisee, Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the same folks
who pioneered the chain’s famous Made From Scratch biscuits over a
quarter of a century ago,” said Brad Haley, executive vice
president of marketing for Hardee’s Food Systems. “Once we tried
them, we knew consumers would find them irresistible because they
represent such a huge quality leap over the mostly pre-cooked and
frozen chicken strips available now. Obviously, our Hand-Breaded
Chicken Tenders are a lot more work to make than the pre-cooked,
frozen ones, but our experience tells us that consumers will notice
the difference in quality and keep coming back for more.”
Boddie-Noell Enterprises (BNE), Hardee’s largest franchisee
headquartered in Rocky Mount, NC, brought the idea of introducing
Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders at Hardee’s to the attention of the
chain’s corporate office after introducing them in a casual dining
steak restaurant they owned and seeing them quickly grow into one
of the most popular items on the menu.
“Hardee’s management has always been receptive to input and
suggestions from their franchise community,” said Bill Boddie,
president and chief executive officer for Boddie-Noell Enterprises.
“That open communication lets us all have a voice in continuing to
bring quality food and Six Dollar Service to our customers while
solidifying the strength of the brand.”
Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders are sold in 3-piece and 5-piece
orders for $2.99 and $4.49, respectively, with a choice of Honey
Mustard, Creamy Buffalo or Buttermilk Ranch dipping sauces. They
can also be ordered in a combo meal with Natural Cut Fries and a
beverage, and are available as an option on the chain’s kid’s meal
menu. The Tenders are already on the menu at many Hardee’s
locations and will be in all restaurants by the end of the
month.
