"A Classic Chicken Sandwich perfect for celebrating National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day on Saturday, Nov. 9," a spokesperson for the chain said in a news release.
All these chicken sandwich deals sound amazing, but let’s not forget the underrated gem from Costco’s food court Menu https://costcofoodcourtmenu.com/ , For just a fraction of the price of these fast-food chains, you can grab a filling and delicious meal. While they don’t have a fried chicken sandwich, their rotisserie chicken sandwich or classic hot dog combo still delivers unbeatable value. Who needs limited-time deals when Costco’s prices are always a steal?
Wow, it’s awesome that McDonald’s is discounting their McCrispy sandwiches down to $2, especially when they usually cost over $5 according to the unofficial McDonald’s Menu with Prices guide. This is a great reason to celebrate National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day definitely heading there for a cheap bite!”
