Your favorite fast-food chicken sandwich may soon have some serious competition. Bojangles, the beloved Charlotte, North Carolina-based chain known for its fried chicken, biscuits, and iced tea, is not just expanding its footprint with 270 new locations in the works — it's also adding exciting new menu items that are sure to catch the eye of football fans this season.
Just in time for tailgating, Bojangles has launched marinated chicken wings in three flavors: Creamy Buffalo, BBQ, and Classic, all served with a new house-made ranch. While these wings are only available for a limited time, they’re perfect for any game-day gathering, and if you're looking to cut your dining-out costs , you can even snag 20% off a five-piece combo through the app.
(Prices vary by location, but a 12-wing feast — complete with biscuits, sides, and tea — will run about $40.)
So, whether you're looking to try these new wings, indulge in a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, or satisfy your sweet tooth with their new peach cobbler, keep an eye out — Bojangles might just be coming to a city near you.

Money tips that can work for everyone
No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.
Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.
Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.
Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
