Tom A trip to Wendy’s Canada is always a fun adventure and your next visit will surely get your taste buds going because there’s a new Spicy Chicken Club and 5-Piece Chicken Strips.
Menu innovation is the heart of what keeps people excited about going to their favourite quick service restaurants.
Wendy’s Canada is one of the leaders in this area, and it seems like almost every month there’s a tasty new item to try out. While menu staples like Dave’s Single, Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, and Frosty are the foundation of Wendy’s Canada’s menu, it’s the new items that keep me coming back in week after week.
In 2025, it seems that the spice is right. Spicy new products and variations of existing menu items are popping up everywhere. As a fan of spice, I am 100% behind this new trend.
The Spicy Chicken Club is one of the newest menu items at Wendy’s Canada and here is some info about the new sandwich:
The new Spicy Chicken Club brings even more heat by swapping the cooling ranch sauce with a sriracha sauce and mayo while maintaining the sandwich’s freshness with crisp lettuce and tomato, plus savoury Wendy’s signature Applewood smoked bacon and a slice of cheese.
My first impressions of the new Spicy Chicken Club was that it looked very similar to their other chicken sandwiches. This is a good thing because I’ve always enjoyed Wendy’s Canada’s chicken sandwiches. The most notable visual difference was the red sriracha sauce that makes it easy to identify.
As far as the taste goes, I give it a solid 8/10. If you like the regular chicken sandwiches from Wendy’s and enjoy the taste/heat of sriracha sauce, this is definitely a must try menu item. The mayo and sriracha sauce compliment each other well, helping create a good sauce balance and will help if your spice tolerance is lower.
I’d rate the spiciness at a 6/10, however take that with a grain of salt as everyones spice tolerance is different. You’ll probably want to order a drink with your Spicy Chicken Club if your spice tolerance is low.
My personal recommendation would be to ask for extra lettuce to add some more crunch and make sure to eat it shortly after it’s prepared for the best experience.
The next item I tried was the 5-piece Chicken Strips. While chicken strips are not new to Wendy’s, they were previously only available as a 3-piece option.
This new 5-piece option was heavily requested and comes as a Canadian exclusive (we do love our chicken strips up here). You’ll also get 2 dipping sauces and if you’re anything like me, you’ll need them because 5 chicken strips will use up a lot of sauce!
I love this new option because sometimes you’re just really hungry, and it’s also great for when you want to share with someone else.
If you’ve never had Wendy’s Canada’s chicken strips before, they’re a very fair size, have a nice crisp breading, and come out hot and juicy. A 5-piece combo is a lot of food and should satisfy the protein needs of even the hungriest chicken strip fans.
My personal fave dips are Plum and Ranch, but you can’t go wrong with any of Wendy’s dip options.
Both items are available now in-restaurant and via the Wendy’s Canada mobile app. The mobile app is a great way to save time ordering and gives you access to in-app coupon offers to help save you money.
