Jack in the Box Brings Back Spicy and Sweet Menu Items
Jack in the Box is giving fans plenty to celebrate as it expands its menu with the re-launch of two fan-favorite items. Following previous runs on the menu, and after their subsequent retirements, both the Spicy Chicken Strips and French Toast Sticks are officially returning to Jack in the Box locations nationwide.
The fan-favorite fast food chain is re-launching the two beloved menu items for a limited time, according to Chew Boom. Fans heading to their local participating Jack in the Box restaurant will now be able to order the Spicy Chicken Strips. The chicken strips feature all-white meat chicken crispy-fried in a panko and cracker-crumb breading that's seasoned with Jack's signature blend of spices for a spicy kick of flavor.

May I take your order?' Well, I thought it was clever. The manager thought otherwise. I was probably really irritating. Anyway, he just told me to go home and never come back."
Now, Hamill is returning to Jack in the Box for a limited time to represent the brand in a series of advertisements set to run across the country. Speaking of his return, the Star Wars actor said, "What are the chances of a former employee who let you go, asking you to come back? It was too good to [pass up]. I said,
