That’s right people, ask and you shall receive. Starting today, January 14, Shake Shack locations across the country will be offering the “Chick’n Shack.”
The chain’s newest culinary masterpiece is a “cage-free chicken breast – no hormones or antibiotics ever – slow-cooked in a creamy buttermilk marinade, hand-dipped into Shake-made batter, dredged through seasoned flour, and crisp-fried… topped with pickles, crisp shredded lettuce and a tangy Shake-made buttermilk herb mayo made with chives, parsley and thyme… served on a pillowy potato roll.”
Well sh*t. Can they make me “Shake-made?” How are we supposed to do anything knowing this exists in the world?
We’re not the only ones distracted by the news. People have taken to Twitter to share their excitement. They’re even breaking New Year’s resolutions! It’s madness!
Just had the #ChicknShack from @shakeshack Chestnut Hill and it was mind-blowing! Stop looking at this and go buy yourself one.

And of course a thorough review.
My review of the Shake Shack fried chicken sandwich: Oh HELL yes. That is all.

In a statement, Shake Shack’s CEO, Randy Garutti, called the new sandwich “a new era.” Fast casual chicken is in high demand around the country and Shake Shack hopes to stand out from fast-food competition like KFC, Popeye’s, and Chick-Fil-A with its antibiotic free sandwiches. The restaurant has been perfecting the “Chick’n Shack” since buying the trademark in April last year and apparently the wait has been worth it.
Guess what else? There is more! Shake Shack is also coming to L.A. and people are going extra crazy!
This person can’t stop screaming.

Subtle, but effective.

Even if you’re not as excited as everyone on Twitter, at least the “Chick’n Shack” sounds better than these Mountain Dew-flavored chicken wings. Like, a lot better.
