Spicy Chicken tenders at Wendy's

The real star of the show though, is Wendy's double hand-breaded chicken tenders. Made with premium 100% Australian chicken, these crispy, juicy tenders were specifically crafted after many iterations and feedback from Australian diners.

Diners can choose chicken selections like Homestyle or a fiery new signature spicy recipe served as tenders in a 3-piece or 5-piece, in a burger or a wrap. Dress it up with a creamy ranch dressing or opt for the all-new signature dipping sauce – available for the first time globally in the new flagship Gold Coast restaurant.

For the perfect sweet treat, Australian’s can finally indulge in the Wendy’s Frosty® dessert on home soil – available in chocolate or vanilla – thick enough to use a spoon, smooth enough to use a straw.

If that isn’t enough, customers can complete their meal with Hot & Crispy natural-cut, skin-on, sea-salted Fries – loaded with cheese, chili and cheese or bacon and cheese!
