It's fried chicken, in the triangular shape of tortilla chips, meant to be dipped in spicy, cheesy lava sauce (popular from the chain's volcano menu days, last seen for a limited time in 2015). 。

It has "guilty pleasure" written all over it, and the fried, spicy taste seems to be just what you need to counteract all that kale you are still eating.。

An order of six chips with two dips (you can go for nacho cheese or spicy ranch instead of the lava sauce if you are a spice wimp) runs $1.99. The chips are also featured in a $2.99 wrap called the Volcano Chickstar.。

There is no word on when or if this dish will make its national debut, but considering the public now has the ideal jewels to wear while dining on such cuisine, it would be a shame not to do the chip dip all over the country.。
