The new offering marks a new chapter for the Nashville hot chicken brand as it expands its family appeal
Los Angeles, CA (Restaurant News Release) Angry Chickz is adding something new for families. Today, the Nashville hot chicken brand launches its Kids Classic, a new kids meal designed to bring the Angry Chickz experience to younger guests while giving families another reason to choose the restaurant together. The launch will also kick off a community-focused “Nominate Your School & Class” sweepstakes, connecting Angry Chickz with local schools, families and communities across participating markets.
Now available systemwide, the Kids Classic features Tender Bites, fries and Angry Chickz Sauce, served at the Country “no heat” heat level in special Kids Classic packaging. The meal serves as a kid-sized way to get familiar with the chicken, flavors and personality that have made Angry Chickz a go-to for chicken fans. To celebrate the launch, guests who sign up for Angry Chickz Rewards can also receive free Mac & Cheese now through Sunday, Jan. 3.
“Angry Chickz has always been about more than great chicken. It’s about creating an experience people want to share. The Kids Classic gives families another reason to visit together while introducing a new generation to the brand. By connecting the launch to local schools, we have an opportunity to become an even bigger part of the communities we serve,” said Peter Tremblay, president of Angry Chickz.
As part of the Kids Classic launch, Angry Chickz is inviting guests to participate in the “Nominate Your School & Class” sweepstakes, running through Dec. 13 across participating Angry Chickz markets. Guests can nominate a school and class for the chance to win an Angry Chickz sponsorship and class party, with approximately 13 winning schools selected across the system. Each winning school will receive a $500 sponsorship, plus a class party valued at approximately $222 in Angry Chickz food.
No purchase is necessary to enter, and individuals may submit one entry. Multiple parents, students, teachers and community members may nominate the same school or class, giving local communities multiple opportunities to rally behind their schools.
The sweepstakes is part of Angry Chickz’s broader effort to build meaningful connections with the families and communities surrounding its restaurants. Beyond introducing more families to the new Kids Classic, the campaign will encourage school participation and support longer-term community relationships through fundraising nights, local restaurant activations and future school partnerships. Participating franchise restaurants will also have the opportunity to opt into the program, allowing local schools in their communities to be included in the nomination process.
The Kids Classic is available now at participating Angry Chickz locations nationwide. To learn more about Angry Chickz, visit AngryChickz.com.
