I tried the three side by side to see which, if any, you should give a try.

This is all served on the classic bun with cooling lettuce and tomato.

Finally, the returning Strawberry Frosty which debuted last summer, is here to cool everything down.
I got all three and tasted them side by side, and have a few warnings for you.

Ghost Pepper Ranch Chicken Sandwich
Wendy’s newest chicken sandwich iteration is packed with spice.
The crispy onions, American cheese, and ranch sauce all have a good dose of real ghost pepper.
The look:This is a good-looking sandwich, big but not too big and well put together.

It’s begging to be eaten.
These little crispy demons were a harbinger of things to come.
The ingredients were all perfectly spread around the sandwich, giving a little of each in every bite.

If Wendy’s has developed this sandwich as a ploy to sell more Frostys, then it has succeeded!
Otherwise, the release of the shake with these two spicy items is just a serendipitous fluke.
There is no greater quencher of the heat than this cool, thick creamy treat.

The sandwich was so spicy it took an entire small Frosty to get through half of it.
Overall, this sandwich is delicious and if you are a heat lover you will be over the moon.
The look:The Ghost Pepper Fries look a lot like theGarlic Fries from last year.
A few flecks of a green herb also coat the fries.
The taste:They taste like Buffalo wing sauce fries with a bigger kick.
The sauce is buttery with a well-emulsified pepper sauce that lingers at the bottom for dipping.
A side of regular ranch would be the right partner for these fries to cool them off.
The spice builds but doesn’t overwhelm the palate as with the sandwich.
Together, however, these two new items are a bit much.
You’re gonna need more Frostys!
Get the Strawberry Frosty anytime, it’s truly delicious with anything salty or spicy.
