Fast Food Giant Chick-fil-A Is Testing A New Burger And Bone-In Wings

Chick-fil-A is giving something new a try in one location. The chain is testing burgers and bone-in wings!!!!

The popular fast-food chain has a reputation for introducing new and exciting menu items throughout the year. When the chain tests new products, it typically does so in select markets or regions before deciding whether to add the item to its national menu.

To test the new products, Chick-fil-A often works with focus groups or invites customers to try the new menu items and provide feedback. This process helps the company gauge the popularity of the new items and make any necessary adjustments before introducing them to the wider market. Chick-fil-A takes pride in the quality of its food and is committed to providing customers with innovative and delicious menu options.

According to Chew Boom, the chain will be testing burgers and bone-in wings at its “Little Blue Menu” virtual restaurant in College Park, Maryland, a concept that lets customers order Chick-fil-A classics, bone-in wings, burgers, and more through digital ordering only.

I mean, how could this not be a grand slam? Everyone LOVES wings! But so much for that "eat more chicken thing with the mascot!

The “Little Blue Menu” is where the chain tests new, innovative menu items. It’s named after Chick-fil-A’s original blue menu at the very first location opened by founder S. Truett Cathy. It’s open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Please let it do well!

I remember when the  was a new item too! Yummm!

We do have some good fast food here in North Carolina. I know I personally could not live without Chick-fil-a. No matter how long the line is I seem to end up there at least once a week. And North Carolina's own Bojangles and Cookout is a southern staple. Of course, we have all the heavy hitter chains like Mcdonalds', Burger King, Wendy's, etc. But just like Bojangles and Cookout are North Carolina institutions there are chains local to other parts of the country that we (unfortunately) don't have here. If you've traveled outside of the state chances are you've had the chance to dine at a fast food restaurant that we don't have in North Carolina. And some of them leave you begging for them to open one up here.

When Shake Shack opened its first Charlotte location the line was wrapped around the building for weeks with people desperate to try it. Chains are going more national now, I think Chick-fil-a has finally made it to California. With that in mind, I created this list of 7 fast food restaurants I wish would come to North Carolina. Some that could be a possibility as they have started coming closer to this area. A few only have locations in southern California making a North Carolina expansion highly unlikely. A girl can dream though. I'm planning a trip next month to Arizona where I'll get to try some of these for the first time. Cannot wait! Have you tried any of these restaurants or know of any others you'd like to see here? Let us know!

Taco Bell is great and all, but Del Taco is the best of everything serving not only Mexican favorites but burgers, fries, and shakes as well. I never knew I needed a milkshake with my fast food tacos but now I definitely do! The chain is based out of California and has 592 locations. The closest ones to us are in Georgia. Maybe North Carolina will be next?

In N' Out has such a cult following that I'm sure you've heard of it even if you've never stepped foot in one. The burger chain is famous for it's "animal style" entrees. It's mainly located in the Southwest with Texas and Colorado being the closest location to us.

If for no other reason than the time I want Wienerschnitzel to come to South Carolina. How fun would it be to just say "I'm going to Wienerschnitzel want anything?". The menu of course includes hotdogs and corndogs but also burgers, fries, and a meatball sub. Locations are in Arizona, California, New Mexico and other western states. You'd have to go to Texas to find the closest Wienerschnitzel.

Another one that wins just because of the name. They are self-described as "a chef-driven, gourmet food concept inspired by a true love for eggs." These breakfast items are a step up from your typical fast food fare and are all made from high-quality ingredients. There are only 5 US locations along with several international ones. The US ones are in California and Vegas so doesn't look like a North Carolina expansion is imminent.

This soul food fast food chain has 7 locations in the greater LA area. Fried chicken, homestyle sides, waffles, sandwiches, and even chicken liver makes up the menu of Roscoe's. Fast food definitely doesn't look like this in North Carolina.

Fatburger considers itself the Last Great Hamburger Stand. While it is a fast food restaurant, the food is cooked and made to order. Some Fatburger restaurants have liquor licenses as well as "fat bars." Unfortunately, all the locations are in the southern part of California. The burgers, wings, and fries all look incredible.

Southern California gets all the good spots. King Taco, another LA based chain, serves soft tacos, burritos, sopes, tamales, nachos, Mexican drinks, and even rotisserie chicken at some locations.
