Wendy's gets the sandwich that neither KFC nor McDonald's have: it's official

The wait is over. Wendy’s has just launched the sandwich that all of the United States was waiting for. After much rumor, the collaboration with Takis, the spicy snack brand, is now official. Both have created the Takis Fuego chicken sandwich, a dish that promises to turn up the heat this summer.

Wendy's Has a New Sandwich

The new Takis Fuego sandwich combines Wendy’s famous spicy chicken with crushed Takis Fuego chips. This gives it a crunchy and spicy touch that makes it unique. This sandwich is topped with chili and lime sauces, a creamy corn spread, and a generous portion of cheddar cheese sauce.

The result is a sandwich with layers of flavor, spice, crunch, and savoriness, ideal for fans of intense food. The ingredients blend perfectly to offer a unique experience that brings together the best of both worlds: Wendy’s spicy chicken and Takis’s tangy, spicy kick.

Fuego Fries: The Perfect Side

Not only does the sandwich bring surprises: Wendy’s has also created Fuego™ fries. These fries, inspired by Takis, are Wendy’s Hot & Crispy fries, but coated with a chili and lime seasoning. In addition, the fries come in a special bag designed for easy snacking. The best part? They’re available as part of the Takis Fuego Meal or can be ordered separately as a spicy snack to share.

If you’re a fan of spicy food, you can enjoy this experience even more with a bag of Takis Fuego chips. It’s included in the Takis Fuego Meal, available while supplies last.

Wendy's Says It's Not Forever

This Takis Fuego Meal will be available at all Wendy’s restaurants in the United States starting June 20, 2025. In Canada, it can be enjoyed starting June 30. It’s a limited-time offer, so fans of spicy options won’t want to miss this opportunity.

Lindsay Radkoski, Wendy’s marketing director in the United States, commented on the collaboration: "We love to keep things spicy, and partnering with Takis is a natural choice. We know our consumers are looking for new and exciting experiences, and this sandwich is exactly that: an explosion of flavor that only Wendy’s can offer."

The Spice Invasion Game: More Fun and Prizes

But the excitement doesn’t end with the launch of the new menu. From June 20 to July 20, 2025, users of the Wendy’s app in the United States can participate in the Spice Invasion game.
