PLANO Texas The sky isn’t falling, but Chicken Littles are expanding at Bennigan’s Grill & Tavern.
Bennigan’s, the 310-unit division of Metromedia Restaurant Group here, this week rolled out a new core menu nationwide that features a section dedicated to its mini sandwiches.
The "Mini Bites" section features Burger Bites, Chicken Minis and the chain’s new Buffalo Chicken Minis, made with fried chicken tossed with buffalo sauce and served with lettuce and blue cheese dressing.
“This menu features slightly fewer items and concentrates on customer favorites,” said Jennifer Gamble, director of marketing for Bennigan's. “We are also taking a cue from our guests by enhancing our mini sandwiches. Our Burger Bites started out strictly on the bar menu and were quickly added to our core menu.”
New entrees on Bennigan’s menu include Irish Ale Queso, Stacked Chicken, Buffalo Chicken Minis, Black & Bleu Burger, Angus Melt, Guinness Grill Fish & Chips and Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Salad.
The menu removes Bayou Chicken, Monterrey Chicken, Irish Pot Roast, BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Pita, Peppercorn Blue Cheeseburger Pita, Oriental Chicken Salad, Abby's Apple Sizzler, Chicken Stir Fry, Grilled Meatloaf and Southwest Salmon.
