Wendy’s Debuts the Classic Chicken Sandwich Packed with a New Premium Fried Chicken Fillet, Pickles, Lettuce, Tomatoes and Mayo, in Between a Premium Toasted Bun.

"We can't wait for our fans to get their hands on the New Classic Chicken Sandwich which has the perfect crunch from breading and pickles paired with the juiciness and flavor of the fillet," said Carl Loredo, Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company.
