Due to popular request, Wendy’s is bringing back its spicy chicken nuggets.
It is a return that was three months in the making.
Back in May, Wendy’s offered its devotees the opportunity to purchase them if Wendy’s tweet was liked at least two million times.
Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance.
