Sweet Meets Heat: DQ Introduces New Swicy Menu Featuring FlameThrower Chicken Strips, Soft Serve Dipping Sauce & Refreshing Lemonade Beverages

DQ is turning up the heat and the sweet with the launch of its new DQ Swicy Menu. Perfect for fans who love a flavor adventure, the new lineup brings the sweet and spicy flavor combination to life in new ways.

Full of bold opposites coming together, the DQ Swicy Menu includes a spicy & smoky FlameThrower Chicken Strip Basket* featuring four 100% all white meat seasoned chicken strips, served with cool & sweet vanilla DQ soft serve for dipping, fries and Texas toast. The Swicy Menu also features two new beverages, part of the DQ Sparklers & Coolers lineup: Pineapple Lemonade DQ Cooler with Tajin and Pineapple Lemonade DQ Sparkler with Tajin. The fiery flavors combined with refreshing sweetness will give fans a full on swicy experience in every bite and sip.

Also joining the DQ Sparklers and Coolers lineup is a classic lemonade flavor, perfect for pairing with a meal or a midday pick me up. DQ Sparklers are a bubbly and refreshing handcrafted beverage made with sparkling water and served over ice. They deliver a sparkling, thirst-quenching sip that's light and refreshing. Meanwhile the new DQ Coolers are a creamy, light and refreshing handcrafted beverage made with our world-famous soft serve and Misty® Slush, delivering a lighter, craveable escape that fits seamlessly into your day.
