Where the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich came from

Introduced 1996

The Spicy Chicken Sandwich began as a limited promotion. It went onto the permanent menu in 1996 because it sold well and because it was easy to make — it uses the same condiments as the standard fried chicken sandwich, so nothing new had to be stocked.

It is one of the few fast-food items that earned a permanent slot on operational simplicity as much as on popularity.
