Hardee's and Duke's Mayo: A Match Made for Tournament Season

As basketball fans gear up for their favorite tournament, a delicious collaboration is set to make waves this season. Hardee's and Duke's Mayo have joined forces to create a unique dining experience for food lovers and sports enthusiasts alike. Introducing the Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender Platter, this crowning glory features the crispy goodness of Hardee's Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders alongside the tangy flavor of Duke's Carolina Gold BBQ sauce.

This mouthwatering platter will be available at participating Hardee's locations starting March 5. The crispy chicken tenders, made from all-white meat, are hand-dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded, and fried to perfection. When paired with the new Carolina Gold BBQ sauce, which brings a delightful mustardy taste with a hint of sweetness and heat, every bite turns into a dunking masterpiece.

Sarah Breymaier, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Hardee's, emphasizes the significance of food on game day. As research highlights, springtime basketball events influence consumption patterns, with chicken ranking amongst the most popular menu selections. Excited to showcase their classic Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders complemented by Duke's Carolina Gold BBQ sauce, Breymaier stated, "We have seen dipping sauces grow in popularity and guests are seeking out more flavors, making this offer particularly timely."

A Well-Rounded Meal

In addition to the star of the show, the platter comes complete with crispy fries, flavorful coleslaw, savory garlic toast, and your choice of drink. This combination not only satisfies the hunger of game-day enthusiasts but also excites them with a flavor explosion that captures the spirit of competition.

Rebecca Lupesco, Marketing Director at Duke's Mayo, shared her perspective on the perfect pairing. "There's no better match for Hardee's Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders than Duke's Carolina Gold BBQ, which was made for dipping. It's bold, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet - this is how you do BBQ flavor right."
