\nWhen Wienerschnitzel recently added chicken to its menu, it wanted to do something more creative than \u201cjust bring in a chicken sandwich that you can get anywhere.\u201d That\u2019s according to Doug Koegeboehn, the chain\u2019s chief marketing officer who came up with a new item that\u2019s a little different from its fast food competitors but uses ingredients it already had on hand.<\/p>\n
The result is Bird Dogs, based on a regional favorite in South Carolina. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking for unique things we can bring into the menu,\u201d Koegeboehn said in a phone interview. \u201cAnd I was reading a Southern Living article. And it talked about all the greatest dishes from all the states in the South. And all of a sudden you get to South Carolina, and South Carolina\u2019s got these things called Bird Dogs. I\u2019m like, what? Are you serious?\u201d Bird Dogs are chicken tenders served in a hot dog bun with a variety of toppings.<\/p>\n
Wienerschnitzel is offering three Bird Dogs: Bacon Ranch, Buffalo Ranch, and BBQ. They cost around $4.49 each. Research and development went smoothly for the Newport Beach-based chain, Koegeboehn said. \u201cThe biggest thing we had to do in development was sample and make sure we found the perfect tender. We tried probably 50 different tenders from 50 different manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 1961, Wienerschnitzel is known for its hot dogs, particularly its signature Chili Cheese Dogs. But Koegeboehn said the brand is about more than that. \u201cIf you look at our menu over the years it\u2019s always been American food: chili dogs, chili, cheese fries, burgers, soft-serve.\u201d Wienerschnitzel is currently celebrating fair food with a cotton candy shake and dipped soft serve cone. In August, it will be serving funnel cake, according to Koegeboehn.<\/p>\n
