7-Eleven hot foods now include chicken nuggets

Building on a successful hot foods menu, 7-Eleven has launched bite-sized Chicken Dippers.

Comprised of lightly breaded 100% white meat chicken, Chicken Dippers come with one of three sauces: Ancho Chipotle, Ranch or Honey Mustard. Six nuggets and sauce, packaged in a special container, costs $1.99.

"Since we launched hot foods nationally five years ago, our chicken breast tenders and wings have been top-sellers, so we know our customers love chicken," Kelly Buckley, VP of fresh food innovation, said in a press release. "Chicken Dippers are flavorful, juicy and can satisfy those who are hungry for a snack or small meal."

Chicken Dippers join a hot foods menu that also includes whole and slice pizza, chicken tenders, chicken wings, mozzarella sticks and mini tacos. The menu is available in more than 5,200 of 7-Eleven's 7,800 U.S. stores.
