Chili's New Chicken Sandwiches Could Provide a Sales Boost -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Apr 15

1550 ET - Chili's has a strategy for juicing its sales -- creating new chicken sandwiches. Brinker International's casual dining chain is launching six new flavors of its Big Crispy chicken sandwich, and analysts from Raymond James are optimistic that the shake-up could help Chili's capture more of the increasingly competitive chicken-sandwich market. Chili's has historically underperformed in this category partly because its chicken sandwich was difficult to find on its menus, the analysts say. The new chicken sandwiches, which include honey-chipotle and buffalo flavors, will be more prominently featured in Chili's menus and advertising, the analysts say. The market for chicken sandwiches has become increasingly crowded, as Chick-fil-A, Dave's Hot Chicken and other brands compete to deliver the best tasting and most affordable sandwich.
