Culver's announces new chicken sandwich lineup
Culver's is diving beak-first into this summer's fast food wars — by launching three revamped chicken sandwiches just in time for this summer's fast food wars. The Wisconsin-based restaurant chain is debuting new Crispy Chicken, Spicy Crispy Chicken, and Grilled Chicken Sandwich recipes on June 16. The sandwiches feature an 'improved' chicken fillet with crunchier pickles, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and all-new toasted buns. The items were inspired by research and guest feedback. Each recipe was part of a multi-year development process to create new chicken sandwiches. Culver's will be celebrating its arrival by giving away free chicken sandwiches to the first 100 customers at each location on launch day. 'We know the love our guests have for chicken, so we wanted to give them new chicken sandwich options that are undeniably delicious,' said Kasey McDonald, Culver's head of culinary. The chain's new crispy and grilled chicken sandwiches will be available at all 1,000-plus restaurants. They cost between about $7.59 and $7.69 per sandwich, a partial factor as to why Culver's is one of the most overpriced fast food chains in America. Several restaurant chains have already introduced new items that are strikingly similar to one another. Chipotle is continuing to offer its limited-time Honey Chicken, which debuted around the same time as a short-lived KFC meal. McDonald's also showed off their competitive side by introducing a new lemonade at participating US locations. The beverage rolled out shortly after Chick-fil-A and Wendy's added new drinks to their menus. Burger King is also offering various specials and plans to offer deals in honor of Father's Day and National Onion Rings Day. Other fast-food chains that are competitively celebrating the summer season include Dunkin' and Sonic Drive-In.

Now that summer is approaching, fast-food chains have been upping their game, and some are offering specials that will last all season long. Wendy's launched its '100 Days of Savings' campaign last week that started with a $1 Dave's Single. Burger King is also offering various specials and plans to offer deals in honor of Father's Day and National Onion Rings Day. Other fast-food chains that are competitively celebrating the summer season include Dunkin' and Sonic Drive-In. Multiple fast-food chains have had a rocky start in the first quarter of this year. McDonald's experienced a 3.6 percent decline in sales, and Burger King's North American sales dropped by 1.3 percent. Wendy's sales dipped 0.1 percent this quarter after experiencing a massive increase in sales last year. However, Chipotle caught fans by surprise last April after reporting its first sales drop in five years. Culver's has not confirmed how much money it's made in 2025 so far, nor has it announced its financial outlook for this year.

Culver's is giving away 100,000 chicken sandwiches. Here's how to get a free one
Culver's is refreshing its chicken sandwich lineup, and fans can soon try it for free. The burger chain plans to give away more than 100,000 free chicken sandwiches Monday, June 16, as its revamped sandwich lineup rolls out at restaurants nationwide, Culver's said in a news release. The first 100 customers who order at the chain's 1,000-plus restaurants will get one on the house, and no purchase is required. Fans can pick from three options: Crispy chicken sandwichSpicy crispy chicken sandwichGrilled chicken sandwich The new sandwiches went through 'extensive testing' and feature a more flavorful chicken filet, crunchier pickles and a new toasted brioche bun, according to product description. They'll join the restaurant's permanent menu, appearing alongside the original chicken tenders and other favorites. 'Every little detail is improved — from the juiciness of the chicken to the soft, new brioche bun it sits on,' Kasey McDonald, head of culinary at Culver's, said in the release. 'We took our time to make sure we got these perfect.' The Wisconsin burger chain is known for its butterburgers and fried cheese curds but said it hopes to satiate customer's growing appetite for chicken. It's the latest restaurant to bolster its chicken offerings in recent months, following similar moves by rivals McDonald's and Wendy's. McCrispy Strips rolled out at the Golden Arches in early May, and Wendy's made good on its promise of more chicken options with the launch of its Cajun crunch chicken sandwich. Culver's chicken sandwich giveaway is valid for one-day only on dine-in, to-go or drive-thru orders, the restaurant said. Additional information wasn't immediately available.
