Annual holiday giveback campaign also returns, building on more than $450,000 raised for local schools over the past three years
Dallas, TX (Restaurant News Release) Golden Chick is reinforcing its outstanding customer value offerings and celebrating the holiday season with $6 Golden Deals, $14.99 chicken bundles and the return of its locally oriented annual giveback supporting local schools.
Whether holiday plans mean a quick bite while shopping, a flavorful contribution to the party or simply a break from cooking, the deals give guests options for a meal of their own or one to share:
$6 Golden Deals: choice of three Golden Tenders®, mashed potatoes and a fresh-baked Golden Roll™, or a two-piece fried or roast chicken meal served with mashed potatoes and a fresh-baked Golden Roll.
$14.99 Chicken Bundles: choice of 1 pound of chicken – Golden Tenders® (10 tenders) or Wicked Wings® (15 wings) – with three Golden Rolls and three dipping sauces (or gravy).
Guests can choose original chicken, spicy chicken featuring Golden Chick’s signature Lotta Zing® seasoning or a mix of both.
“We recognize that gas and food prices put a strain on our customers, so we wanted to make sure we are providing some outstanding value offers that deliver our amazing food at amazing prices. From Friendsgiving to holiday movie nights, every get-together could use a chicken fanatic who knows what to bring to the party, and now they can do that affordably,” said Howard Terry, chief marketing officer of Golden Chick. “Put crispy, juicy chicken on the holiday table, and ‘Gimme That Golden’ feels like a pretty natural reaction.”
For the spicy chicken fan on the holiday gift list, Golden Chick’s popular Lotta Zing® seasoning is now available in mini bottles, sold exclusively in-store at participating Golden Chick restaurants.
Golden Chick’s annual holiday giveback campaign also returns today, with the brand donating 10% of each Fried Apple Empanada purchase to local schools and teachers through Feb. 7, 2027.
Over the past three years, Golden Chick has raised more than $450,000 for hundreds of schools across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Kansas. Those funds have supported critical needs in local schools, including classroom supplies, field trips and school beautification projects.
“At Golden Chick, giving back locally has always been at the heart of our brand. We want our guests to know that when they participate, they’re helping make a difference right in their own communities,” said Mark Parmerlee, CEO of Golden Chick. “We’re proud to support local schools and make giving back a meaningful part of our holiday tradition.”
From chicken at Friendsgiving to a little extra spice in a stocking, Golden Chick is inviting guests to make the season’s traditions their own. Guests can also join Golden Chick Rewards to earn points on eligible purchases and redeem them for free menu items.
