Their classic spiced cake donuts are tossed hot in either Strawberry Lavender, Cinnamon Brown Sugar, or Cookies & Cream house blended sugars.
For chicken, patrons can get battered wings, and sandwiches. But the chain introduced some new savory menu items.
New additions to the menu include LTO Fried Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken Tenders with house-made dipping sauces including its signature Rooster Sauce, and breakfast items such as The Early Bird, which is an egg sandwich with a hand-battered chicken tender on a potato roll).
A three-piece chicken will be added to the menu soon, as well.
