LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA — If you like Habit Burger you're going to love this. For the first time ever, Habit Restaurants, Inc. is introducing a Golden Chicken Sandwich nationwide.

The Golden Chicken Sandwich is the perfect addition to The Habit menu that is known for its variety, quality and value. This Golden Chicken Sandwich ($6.25) starts with a fresh, filleted chicken breast that is hand-dipped into house-made seasoned flour and buttermilk, not just once but twice, before being fried to perfection and custom made to order.

This extra care gives the Golden Chicken a crunchy, flavorful crust while keeping all the juiciness," the Habit Burger explained. The Golden Chicken Sandwich is topped with a new spicy red pepper sauce and served with fresh sliced tomato, lettuce and tangy pickles on a soft toasted bun.
