Jollibee is joining the chicken sandwich war with a Jollibee Chickenwich, in two versions, according to a press release.

"With the launch of the Jollibee Chickenwich, we want everyone to experience just how delicious we feel a chicken sandwich is meant to be," Luis Velasco, senior vice president and marketing head for Honeybee Foods Corporation dba Jollibee, said in the release. "Our newest campaign featuring Chris P. Poultry takes a fun and cheeky approach to emphasize chicken sandwiches should inspire joy. At Jollibee, we strive to make them always crispy, juicy and joyfully delicious. We're so confident people will love it, that we have authorized Chris P. Poultry to dispense justice in the form of a free Jollibee Chickenwich at launch so that eligible customers can discover, at no cost to them, the joy of a great chicken sandwich."

The Original Jollibee Chickenwich features a double hand-breaded chicken breast fillet, spread with umami mayo and served on a toasted brioche bun. The Spicy Jollibee Chickenwich features a sriracha mayo and is served with fresh jalapeños. Both retail for $3.99 each and are available in deluxe versions with added lettuce and tomatoes for $4.49 each (prices may vary). Both are available at all U.S. locations.

"In order to craft the best Jollibee Chickenwich we could, we began with a slow roll out in stores across the U.S. and listened closely to customer feedback," Maribeth Dela Cruz, business group head for Honeybee Foods Corporation dba Jollibee, said in the release. "Over the course of several months, we garnered customer testimonials that supported what we already believed to be true — that our Jollibee Chickenwich strikes that perfect balance of crispiness and juiciness, features that should be the foundation of any great chicken sandwich. We are now ready for consumers to get a taste of justice, Jollibee-style."
