There’s A New Pecking Order At Jack In The Box® For The Holidays

Chicken doesn’t get a lot of attention during the holidays. At a time of year when turkeys, partridges and French hens are top of mind, chickens are often the forgotten bird. Leave it to Jack in the Box® restaurants to buck tradition with a chicken-lovers promotion that features its popular Chicken Nuggets. For a limited time beginning today, Jack in the Box is offering 20 Chicken Nuggets for just $4.99, plus tax.

“Chicken Nuggets are a recent addition to our new Value Menu, so this is a great opportunity for guests to enjoy our breaded, all-white-meat chicken and compare the quality of our nuggets to our competition,” said Peter Tremblay, Division Vice President of Menu for Jack in the Box. “With a 20-piece order available for just $4.99, this is also a great opportunity to share our Chicken Nuggets with family and friends.”

The new Value Menu at Jack in the Box includes a 5-piece serving of Chicken Nuggets, 2 of Jack’s iconic tacos, a Jr. Jack Hamburger, 16-oz. drink and fries, with a la carte prices generally ranging from $1 to $1.29, plus tax, at participating restaurants.

[ Note to media: Jack in the Box restaurants in Cincinnati, Bakersfield, Spokane and St. Louis are not participating in this promotion. Visit the online press room at jackinthebox.com for a high-res image of the Chicken Nuggets.]
