Bird is the word! That’s right, Shake Shack has officially launched its first chicken sandwich, the Chick’n Shack. Starting on Thursday, January 14, the crispy 100% all-natural and antibiotic-free chicken breast with lettuce, pickles and buttermilk herb mayo made its way onto the regular menu after appearing at the Brooklyn Shacks last summer.

The Chick’n Shack is slow-cooked in a creamy buttermilk marinade, hand-dipped into Shack-made batter, dredged through seasoned flour and crisp-fried. The sandwich is served on a fluffy potato roll, the same non-GMO bun that has cradled the classic ShackBurger since Shake Shack’s inception. Want some heat with your crispy chicken? Louisiana hot sauce will also be newly available at the Shack for heat seekers to up the spice factor on their Chick’n Shack.
