1) Sauces & Condiments
Sauces and condiments add flavor, texture and visual appeal. It’s important to offer a variety of sauces and condiments to satisfy most consumers’ cravings—some diners like spicy, others want savory, some like global trends and so on. According to Technomic’s 2018 Sandwich Consumer Trend Report, when it comes to lunch and dinner offerings, younger consumers drive demand for spicy and global sauces, such as Sriracha, hot sauce, salsa, chipotle, Buffalo and teriyaki. Operators should include a range of these sauces, including classics and trending options alike.
For instance, Nashville Hot Chicken has been a hot menu item lately. For diners who want this spicy option, Tyson®Nashville Hot Chicken products isfully cooked, lightly breaded and a perfect solution. These products help operators reduce prep times, increase efficiency and ensure consistency. It’s a win-win for providers and customers because Nashville Hot Chicken fits into all menu parts and satisfies spicy food cravings. For example, Tyson® Right Size® Select Cut* Nashville Hot Chicken Breast Filets are tossed with a signature spicy sauce that adds excitement to all dayparts. It’s a perfect protein on a croissant and topped with a fried egg for breakfast or nestled on top of a lightly dressed coleslaw bed of purple and green cabbage and carrots for lunch. For a traditional open-face dinner sandwich garnished with thick-cut pickles, Tyson® Select Cut* Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Filets brings a new style to the traditional center-of-plate menu item with an accompanying signature spicy sauce.
