The chain considers itself the “original chicken finger specialists,” as it started to serve the now-common dish in the 1970s.

Its blend of chicken fingers, crispy fries, cole slaw, buttered Texas Toast and special sauce has been copied by various other chains over the years, according to the company, but “we’re the original.”
