Wild & Free Has the Coop Squawking with Its New Crispy & Craveable Dishes

Sherman Oaks, CA, March 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Expanding their rotisserie chicken and fresh vegetable offerings, Wild & Free brings new crispy & craveable dishes capturing the attention of taste buds across the San Fernando Valley. In late October of 2017, Wild & Free opened its doors bringing succulent, spit-roasted chicken and fresh-from-the-farm sides to Van Nuys Boulevard. Known for its fresh, savory, and clean cuisine, this modern chic, fast-casual concept expands its horizons into crispy chicken and gluten-free Mac & Cheese territory.

“From inception, we’ve leaned toward the health conscious end of the fast casual spectrum. Though we will continue to serve clean and fresh dishes, we’re ready to bring a little indulgence while still capturing the flavor of rotisserie with our crispy chicken & a variety of other options. Our goal is to bring our rotisserie concept to the valley in a way that offers a little something for everyone. We also believe you can't have indulgence without Mac & Cheese, so we brought our gluten-free version to the menu as well. We are excited at how successful these new items have been in such a short time!” said Chef Elyse Elshenawey.

Along with two all-new items, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the Crispy Chicken plate, you can now substitute crispy chicken on any bowl, salad, or sandwich. What’s their crispy chicken secret? It’s spit-roasted, panko-crusted, and followed by a shallow fry to a golden brown. Like a bit of kick? Ask for it spicy. The Mac & Cheese begins with house-made sharp cheddar cream sauce and is tossed with gluten-free rotini noodles; then sprinkled with gluten-free bread crumbs.

Crispy Chicken Plate: Panko Fried Leg & Thighs + 2 Regular Sides $12.95 (Sides range from seasonal farm to table vegetables, to skinny fries, to the new gluten-free Mac & Cheese. Seasonal sides +$1)

About Wild & Free: Six years ago, Wild & Free owner Terry Heller segued from real estate into the restaurant business creating inventive eatery, Plan Check - the gastropub behind Ketchup Leather™ and the multi-award winning Southern Fry. After growing to four locations across Los Angeles, Heller looked for a new, innovative and exciting concept that had yet to be established. From this vision arose Wild & Free. Launched in October 2017, the eatery serves fancy whole, half, and quarter birds seasoned to perfection with farm fresh sides. Fresh and nutritious salads and rice bowls also grace the menu along with hearty chicken sandwiches and their new crispy & craveable options of crispy chicken and gluten-free mac & cheese.
