Spicy Chickenjoy: Another top-seller is this fiery version of the classic Chickenjoy, which is spicy inside and out for those who like a little heat.
Chicken Sandwich: This sandwich features a crispy, juicy chicken breast fillet, spread with umami mayo, and served on a toasted brioche bun.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich: A spicy version of the original chicken sandwich features sriracha mayo and fresh jalapeños for added crunch and heat.
Lastly, whether you want to stick with your to-go Jollibee favorites or try something new at Jollibee Times Square, just make sure you also leave room for the brand’s signature dessert: Peach Mango Pie. Made with peaches and real Philippine mangoes enveloped in a light and crispy crust, it provides a perfectly sweet ending to any Jollibee meal.
Hot on the heels of its Michigan debut, Jollibee will soon be celebrating another milestone, the official opening of its 100th store in N.A. which will be its newest location in Surrey, B.C., Canada.
