“On game day, people look forward to the food as much as the competition and research shows that spring basketball significantly influences food consumption patterns, with chicken being one of the most popular menu items,” said Sarah Breymaier, vice president of brand marketing at Hardee’s. “We are excited to offer our classic Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders with the Duke’s Carolina Gold BBQ – a regional flavor that guests are sure to love. We have seen dipping sauces grow in popularity and guests are seeking out more flavors and customization to fit their tastes with custom sauce options – Hardee’s is answering that call with this exciting offer.”

In addition to chicken tenders, the platter comes with fries, coleslaw, garlic toast and a drink. Duke’s Carolina Gold BBQ sauce serves as a perfect complement, tying all the flavors together.

“There’s no better match for Hardee’s Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders than Duke’s Carolina Gold BBQ, which was made for dipping,” said Rebecca Lupesco, marketing director at Duke’s Mayo. “It’s bold, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet – this is how you do BBQ flavor right.”
