EASE BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLUES WITH COWBOY CHICKEN’S DINNER SOLUTIONS

I thank the LORD my family has finished with school with Charlie graduating this past May . That doesn’t mean we still don’t like easy dinner situations and to save money. Which is why I’m excited to let you know Kids Eat Free on Mondays; Discounted Family Meals Simplify the Back-to-School Transition

DALLAS, TX (July 22, 2024)—It won’t be long before school starts, and Cowboy Chicken, the well-loved wood-fired rotisserie chicken chain, serves dinnertime solutions to make the transition from summer a little easier. Kids eat free on Mondays after 4 p.m. at each Cowboy Chicken location, and family meals are $5 off on Wednesdays.

“We know that when the busy school season starts, families have even less time to prepare a meal,” says Sean Kennedy, president and CEO of Cowboy Chicken. “With these offers, we can help families ease into the school year with a comforting meal and a delicious solution to the age-old question of what to serve for dinner.”  

On Mondays, guests can bring kids into any Cowboy Chicken location to eat free after 4 p.m. (with the purchase of an entree, in-store only). Kids’ meals have several options, including the Cowpoke, which offers two drumsticks or a ½ breast, one side, and a roll; the Veggie, which has two sides and a roll; and the Crispy Kids Tenders Meal, which includes two tenders, one side, a choice of sauce, and a roll. All kids’ meals include a drink.

Guests can pick up Cowboy Chicken’s Family Meals with a $5 discount on Wednesdays for an excellent incentive to get through the mid-week slump. Family Meals start with a choice of mains such as savory wood-fired rotisserie chicken, crunchy tenders, or tenders and wings. These meals come with four sides and four rolls. The chicken meal for six offers one whole chicken and another half chicken, four Texas-size sides, six rolls, and a choice of dessert.

Whether families find themselves on the ball field or shuttling children between dance appointments and study groups, Cowboy Chicken’s versatile options solve the “what’s for dinner” mystery quickly and easily. In addition, Cowboy Chicken guests who work with schools, churches, or non-profits can ask about special catering pricing for their organizations by emailing catering@cowboychicken.com. Special meal pricing for schools features the “Chuckwagon for 10,” which includes 20 pieces of wood-fired rotisserie chicken with potatoes, green beans, and rolls for $110. The “Cowboy Tenders for 10” meal features 30 all-natural, hand-breaded tenders with potatoes, green beans, rolls, and three kinds of sauces for $110. A box lunch option is available for $11 each. These school deals are available through September, and no substitutions are allowed.

Families and guests can grab lunch or dinner from their nearest Cowboy Chicken location or by ordering online through the Cowboy Chicken app. Guests also can earn Wild West Rewards and collect loyalty points for free menu items and coupons. For more information, visit cowboychicken.com.
