Shake Shack Debuts Chick'n Shack in Chicago

Chick'n Shack, Shake Shack’s debut chicken sandwich, lands on all Chicago menus this month. This new menu item made its first appearance at the Brooklyn Shacks last summer and this will be the first time the sandwich is available at Shacks nationwide.

Chick'n Shack a modern twist on a classic, is crafted from a cage-free chicken breast—no hormones or antibiotics ever—slow-cooked in a creamy buttermilk marinade, hand-dipped into Shack-made batter, dredged through seasoned flour and crisp-fried. The Chick’n Shack is topped with pickles, crisp shredded lettuce and a tangy Shack-made buttermilk herb mayo made with chives, parsley and thyme. The Chick’n Shack is served on (what else?) a pillowy potato roll, the same non-GMO bun that has cradled the ShackBurger since Shake Shack’s inception.

The inspiration behind the Chick’n Shack lies in Shake Shack’s heritage as a modern “roadside” burger stand. “The introduction of chicken marks a new era for Shake Shack, staying true to our core menu while continuing to innovate new items our guests have asked for,” said Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti. The Chick’n Shack also furthers Shake Shack’s commitment to serve fresh, simple, high-quality food at a great value.
