News: Wendy's - New Spicy Chipotle Jr. Cheeseburger

Wendy's is poised to add some value-priced spice this winter with the upcoming release of the new, limited-time Spicy Chipotle Jr. Cheeseburger and Spicy Chipotle Crispy Chicken Sandwich.

Priced at 99 cents a piece, the sandwiches feature a choice of either a beef patty or crispy chicken patty along with pepper jack cheese, sliced jalapenos, and a spicy chipotle sauce made with a mix of ancho and chipotle chillies.

Although some locations have already started to offering them, the official launch of the Spicy Chipotle sandwiches isn't until next week.

This isn't Wendy's first new spicy offering this year as they tested the Spicy Santa Fe Cheeseburger earlier this year in January/last winter. Its key feature was a cheddar jalapeno bun (I guess they went with the pretzel bun over it?). Have a look:
