Did you ever think you’d be treated to a sprinkle of nostalgia mixed with delicious chicken? Well, hang onto your hats, San Antonio! Church’s Texas Chicken, the iconic fast-food chain that has captured taste buds since 1952, is going back to its roots with its original recipe! Yes, you heard that right!
Now, we know Church’s Texas Chicken has been serving up scrumptious meals for decades, but this new twist is something you won’t want to miss. The revitalized recipe isn’t just a repeat; it boasts richer spices that’ll have your taste buds dancing! The chicken is marinated all the way to the bone (yep, you heard right!) and then hand-battered and breaded for that oh-so-perfect crispy texture we all love.
One of the standout features of the rejuvenated recipe is that it needs only one batter and one breader. Easy peasy! It’s all about consistency, folks, and we can all appreciate a good, dependable dinner every now and then!
So, when did Church’s decide to veer away from the classic? Well, that’s slightly murky. Although the establishment was still celebrating its unchanged recipe up until 2018, it appears they took a lid off the original recipe very recently. Originally based just across from The Alamo, Church’s Texas Chicken has grown to have over 1,500 locations globally. Though it started in San Antonio, the headquarters is now in Atlanta, Georgia thanks to acquisition.
Let’s not forget George W. Church, the mastermind behind that first recipe! It has stood the test of time, and currently, Church’s CEO Joe Guith shares his excitement over this return: “This return is not only a return to our roots, but also a strategic move to drive our business forward.” Just imagine biting into that golden, flavorful chicken and feeling all those sweet memories burst out!
Now, as for the menu, it’s classic Church’s simplicity that keeps customers coming back. You can still grab chicken on the bone, tasty tenders, or even a sandwich if that’s your style. Side dishes? Well, it’s the Southern classics that add pizzazz, including mashed potatoes, fried okra, and incredibly seasoned fries! Changing things up? Hardly necessary!
But don’t think Church’s is stuck in the past entirely! Just recently, they’ve made headlines by participating in a Hulu docuseries called Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People. In that, they worked alongside fans to develop a super spicy sauce that’s claimed its fame with its mix of red chili and habanero peppers. Talk about hot stuff!
Church’s Texas Chicken is rolling out the red carpet for both loyal and new customers. Corporate head chef Kevin Houston emphasizes, “We’re excited to bring back our OG recipe to satisfy our guests’ cravings for even more flavor.” So if you’ve been away for a while, now’s the perfect time to stop by and enjoy something delicious!
