OKLAHOMA CITY--()--SONIC® Drive-In (NASDAQ:SONC) continues to build its variety of premium chicken menu items with the introduction of the new Cheesy Pub Chicken Sandwich. With rich, cheesy flavors blended together perfectly atop the quality chicken fans have come to expect from SONIC, this is a flavor-packed sandwich that delivers when fall comfort food cravings call.

The Cheesy Pub Chicken Sandwich is made with a 100 percent all-white meat grilled or crispy chicken breast topped with a pub style cheddar cheese sauce, sliced white cheddar cheese, zesty caramelized onion sauce with fresh lettuce and tomato, all sandwiched together in SONIC’s signature ciabatta bun made with whole grain. Guests with a burger craving can order this sandwich with SONIC’s 100 percent pure beef patty, too.

“We’ve been busy bolstering our chicken lineup with creative combinations our guests will love, and the Cheesy Pub Chicken Sandwich was created to offer guests that warm, comforting feeling that is really the essence of fall cuisine,” said Chef Claes Petersson, vice president of product innovation at Sonic. “The new cheesy pub sauce coupled with white cheddar and caramelized onion sauce works together with our juicy white meat chicken to form a sandwich full of gourmet flavors that you wouldn’t expect from a quick service restaurant.”

The Cheesy Pub Chicken Sandwich or Burger is the perfect option for lunch or dinner – pair it with Onion Rings and a Shake for a complete SONIC pub experience. Just like the entire SONIC menu, the Cheesy Pub Chicken Sandwich is made to order and available all day, but only for a limited time.
