Golden Chick is welcoming back its popular Butterfly Shrimp for a limited time through April 12, arriving just as seafood demand peaks for the season.
The whole, premium shrimp are coated in a light panko breading that delivers crisp texture without heavy batter—golden, delicate, and satisfying.
Though best known for hand-prepared chicken, seafood is a meaningful part of the menu. The brand’s Southern-Fried Catfish remains a year-round staple and steady seller, made with U.S. farm-raised, 100% catfish—an important quality distinction in the quick-service space.
“Many brands only lean into seafood during Lent, but for Golden Chick, it’s a core part of our menu year-round,” said Howard Terry, chief marketing officer. “Guests look forward to shrimp’s return every year, and they trust us to deliver seafood with the same quality and consistency as our chicken.”
Seasonal combos include six- or 10-piece Butterfly Shrimp, a three-piece Catfish meal, a Shrimp and Catfish Combo, and a Surf and Turf option with Golden Tenders® and shrimp. Each comes with a Southern-style side, cocktail sauce, a yeast roll, and a 30-ounce drink. Shrimp is also available à la carte in three- or 20-piece portions.
With the sixth consecutive return of Butterfly Shrimp alongside its dependable catfish offering, Golden Chick reinforces that seafood here isn’t an afterthought—it’s a reliable part of the brand’s foundation.
