Is your lunch a crime? Chili’s Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich is here to provide justice with a $10.99 deal that includes bottomless chips.

Gather ’round, hungry citizens, because a legal drama is unfolding, and the evidence is delicious. Chili’s has officially decided that fast food has been getting away with “value” highway robbery for far too long. In a move that is equal parts bold and hilarious, the brand is taking the drive-thru to “food court” to settle the score. The defendant? Shrinkflation and sad, tiny sandwiches. The plaintiff? The brand-new Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich.

Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich

For anyone who has recently paid $15 for a “value meal” only to receive a sandwich the size of a drink coaster, Chili’s is here to restore your faith in humanity. They’ve added the original Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the Spicy Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich to their $10.99 3 For Me menu. This means you get a significant hand-battered chicken breast, fries, bottomless chips and salsa, and a drink for less than the cost of a mediocre fast-food meal elsewhere.

Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich at Chili’s Options

The Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich is now available at Chili’s restaurants nationwide in six crave-worthy variations, all served with a side of the brand’s house-made ranch:

• Big Crispy – A thick, hand-battered chicken breast with creamy mayo and crisp pickles on a toasted bun, available on the 3 For Me menu with fries, bottomless chips and salsa and an unlimited fountain drink for just $10.99.
• Spicy Big Crispy – The same golden, hand-battered chicken breast with an all-new spicy mayo that delivers a slow-building heat, balanced with pickles. The Spicy Big Crispy was an early bestseller in test markets and is now available on the $10.99 3 For Me menu.
• Honey-Chipotle Big Crispy – The Big Crispy is now also available tossed in Chili’s famous Honey-Chipotle sauce, topped with pickles and served as an entrée with white cheddar mac & cheese and fries.
• Nashville Hot Big Crispy – One of the most exciting flavors on national menus in the past few years is now available as a Big Crispy sandwich. The spicy profile is balanced out with pickles and served with white cheddar mac & cheese and fries.
• Buffalo Big Crispy – Rounding out the sauced Big Crispy lineup is this classic chicken pairing, also topped with pickles and served as an entrée with white cheddar mac & cheese and fries.
• Deluxe Big Crispy – Topped with two crispy slices of thick-cut bacon, melty Swiss cheese, mayo, and fresh lettuce and tomato for an even heartier bite. The Deluxe Big Crispy is also served with a side of white cheddar mac & cheese and fries.

The Court Case

How massive are we talking? Chili’s brought the receipts (and the rulers), noting that their filet is over 80% bigger than the average McCrispy. “Over the past few years, we’ve exposed the fast food shrinkflation by serving our burgers in the industry-leading $10.99 3 For Me meal for a value that can’t be found in the drive-thru,” said George Felix, Chili’s chief marketing officer. “Now, we’re setting our sights on fast food chicken sandwiches, offering our gigantic Big Crispy and Spicy Big Crispy chicken sandwiches in the same 3 For Me value meal. This is a shakeup to the chicken sandwich category that is long overdue, and one that our guests are going to love.”

To prove their point, Chili’s is hosting an actual “Food Court” pop-up in New York City at 37 Union Square West on April 16. Fans can act as the jury, taste the evidence, and tell Court TV exactly what they think of fast food’s betrayal.

Chili’s

It’s a bold strategy for the brand, but they have the muscle to back it up. In fact, Chili’s is now the second-largest U.S. casual-dining chain, and they seem intent on using that power to protect our wallets from the “value injustice” of the drive-thru.

Whether you want the Honey-Chipotle, Nashville Hot, or the Buffalo Big Crispy, you can now enjoy a meal that doesn’t require a magnifying glass to find the protein. The defense rests, but you definitely shouldn’t. Give the Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich a try at Chili’s, if you dare. Your wallet might thank you. Find more information at chilis.com. Of course, there are plenty of Chili’s locations near the Orlando-area theme parks if your group wants to give the Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
