Wendy’s really wants people to try its new chicken sandwich.
After releasing the “Classic Chicken Sandwich” last week, the fast food chain has announced that people can get it for free for the next two weeks.
Wendy’s announced the promotion on Monday, which will run through Nov. 8.
In order to get a free “Classic Chicken Sandwich,” fans just have to make any purchase through the Wendy’s mobile app or at the restaurant, according to a report from TODAY.
Those who purchased the new chicken sandwich are eligible to get two free sandwiches – one each week for the two weeks the promotion is running, TODAY reported.
