Krispy Krunchy Chicken Takes the Field as the Official Fried Chicken of the Boston Red Sox

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Get ready, Red Sox Nation, because Krispy Krunchy Chicken^®, one of the fastest growing hot food concepts in the country, has just been named the Official Fried Chicken of the Boston Red Sox. The fried chicken brand, best known for a national footprint in over 3200 convenience stores, will feature its fresh, hand-breaded chicken tenders and krispy chicken sandwich at Fenway Park as the ballpark’s official fried chicken offering.

Fenway Park, the oldest Major League Baseball ballpark still in use, has an impressive history of over 100 years.

The park is well and deservedly known as an icon of sports culture.

And, starting opening day, April 4, fans of both the Red Sox and great chicken have something else to celebrate as Krispy Krunchy Chicken joins the Fenway Park menu. Both jumbo chicken tenders and the all-breast meat chicken sandwich will be available throughout Fenway Park, in addition to other ballpark staples.
