“If you love chicken and waffles, perhaps that's something that you consume once in a while rather than every day

“Whether enjoyed with the classic filet and bacon or customized with an egg or sausage, the new Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich offers an unexpected way for guests to prioritize protein in their morning routine
