Shake Shack’s chicken sandwich
THE Chick’n Shack, Shake Shack’s chicken sandwich, will be available at Shake Shack’s two Metro Manila locations, Central Square and Mega Fashion Hall, starting July 10. “The introduction of chicken marks a new era for Shake Shack, staying true to our core menu while continuing to innovate new items our guests have asked for,” said Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti in a press release. “The Chick’n Shack also furthers Shake Shack’s commitment to serve fresh, simple, high-quality food at a great value through our mission to Stand For Something Good.” The Chick’n Shack is 100% all-natural and antibiotic-free chicken breast, slow-cooked in a creamy buttermilk marinade, hand-dipped into Shack-made batter, dredged through seasoned flour and crisp-fried. The Chick’n Shack is topped with pickles, crisp shredded lettuce and a tangy Shack-made buttermilk herb mayo made with chives, parsley and thyme. The Chick’n Shack is served on a potato roll. For some added heat, Louisiana hot sauce will also be available at the Shack.
