Zaxbys, known for its 12 signature sauces, is now adding a dry rub to its repertoire.
The new lemon pepper lineup, available as of Monday, July 7, is a first for the chicken chain and features a blend of lemon, cracked black pepper and 'a rich buttery finish,' the restaurant said in a news release.
Zaxbys teamed up with Georgia native and rapper Quavo, formerly of the Migos, to launch the beloved flavor that has become synonymous with Atlanta.
Lemon pepper fans can choose from four new meal options:
Wings & Things: Five lemon pepper traditional or boneless wings, three chicken fingers, Zax sauce, fries, Texas toast, ranch sauce and a drink.Chicken Fingerz Plate: Four lemon pepper chicken fingers, fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, ranch sauce and a drink.Traditional Wings Meal: Five traditional lemon pepper wings, fries, Texas toast, ranch sauce and a small drink.Lemon Pepper Sandwich Meal: A lemon pepper-seasoned chicken filet on a toasted bun served with fries and a drink.
'This launch celebrates more than just our first-ever dry rub – it's a tribute to Zaxbys Atlanta roots and the viral phenomenon of Lemon Pepper Steppers, that's all about owning your own sauce,' Patrick Schwing, chief marketing and strategy officer for Zaxbys, said in the release.
It's the latest menu shakeup at Zaxbys, which operates more than 980 restaurants in the U.S.
In May, it announced the permanent return of its fan-favorite milkshakes after a seven-year break, McClatchy News reported. The frozen treats were tested exclusively in Macon and surrounding cities before the nationwide rollout.
Zaxbys' lemon pepper offerings will be available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide, though the restaurant didn't say for how long.

Husband forgot to get lottery tickets. So wife bought her own — and won big

A woman's husband forgot to get lottery tickets. So, the wife bought her own — and won big. 'I'll have a little fun, take some trips and retirement will come sooner rather than later,' the wife told the South Carolina Education Lottery in a July 25 news release. The lucky winner scored $500,000 after she stopped at a gas station in Lyman, a roughly 25-mile drive northeast from downtown Greenville. While at the 357 Redi Mart, she tried her luck on the Money Madness Extra Play scratch-off game. 'I was standing in line and these bright, shiny and glittery tickets caught my eye,' the woman told lottery officials. 'I bought three of them.' She checked two of the $10 tickets, but they weren't winners. Then she scratched off the last one, revealing a 'magical' win. It turns out, the woman beat more than 1-in-a million odds to score one of the top prizes in the game. She kept $347,500 after taxes and compared the win to a character's fortune on the TV show 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' lottery officials wrote in their release and in an email to McClatchy News. 'I felt like Jed Clampett when he discovered his bubblin' crude,' said the lucky winner, who wasn't identified publicly. It's not the first time an eye-catching lottery ticket has led someone to hit the jackpot. In North Carolina, a man was drawn to a ticket that made him much richer, McClatchy News reported in February.

Pup saved from fire waited as his siblings got homes. Then, a touching adoption

A puppy rescued from a fire waited as his siblings got homes — then came good news. Half Pint was the second pup from his litter to be adopted by a firefighter, according to a Georgia animal rescue. 'In an incredible twist of fate, his adopter just happened to be a fireman from another department,' Jennifer Siegel, founder and director of Bosley's Place, told McClatchy News in a July 22 email. 'It was a beautiful and unexpected connection that brought their story full circle.' Half Pint, whose new name will be Chief, got a second chance after experiencing a tragic loss. His 'brave' mom died while helping him and his litter mates inside a burning home, the Atlanta-area rescue wrote in past Instagram posts. 'He was rescued from a house fire when he was just eight days old,' the animal organization wrote. 'His mother made the ultimate sacrifice, using her own body to shield him and his siblings so they could survive.' In March, the three babies arrived at the rescue and had to be bottle fed. Two of the pups — Bitsy and Pee Wee Jr. — soon got new owners. It turns out, a first responder who got the newborns out of the burning home had fallen for Pee Wee Jr., now called Lieutenant Pee Wee. 'The firefighter identified him immediately as the one he hoped would join his family,' Siegel wrote. 'And over the following weeks he came on occasional Sundays to help bottle feed and raise him.' As Half Pint waited for a home of his own, he showed off his curious and loving nature. He became known for having a 'big personality and an endless zest for life.' 'This sweet boy is more than just a little adventurer — he's also a certified cuddle pro,' rescuers wrote. 'Half Pint is a lap-layer, a neck-nuzzler, and a heart-melter with an infectious smile that lights up the room. His playful, affectionate personality is the kind you just want to keep close forever.' Then on July 6, the rescue in a Facebook post shared the heartwarming news that Half Pint had been adopted. Several social media users shared celebratory comments as the pup got a fresh start with a firefighter. 'HAPPY DAY!' the rescue wrote in its post. 'Half Pint has selected his forever family!! It took him a minute, but they are awesome!!' Bosley's Place is based in Smyrna, a roughly 15-mile drive northwest from downtown Atlanta.

Estate owned by former Hollywood legend Bette Davis lists in Maine. See it

A picture-perfect property that looks like it was yanked straight from a Nancy Meyers' film has landed on the real estate market in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. While it does look like it was crafted for a blockbuster movie, it has a different Hollywood connection: the estate was owned by Silver Screen legend Bette Davis. However, the new primary home and carriage house were built in 2002 and are listed for $15 million. 'Welcome to Seascape. This incomparable oceanfront estate awaits your consideration. Imagine, if you will, after a hectic day you arrive via a secluded tree lined pathway and ancient stonewalls to take in the unfolding grandeur of 7+ private acres of groomed fields and woods,' the listing on Sotheby's International Realty says. 'Reminiscent of an English countryside setting, the site both embraces and excites as you suddenly glimpse the presence of the glittering Atlantic and 1184 feet of bold frontage.' The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home is 7,600 square feet and has some stunning East Coast chic features, per the listing, including: Ocean views from nearly every roomBalconiesPorches The estate is still referred to as the 'Bette Davis' property, according to information Sotheby's provided to McClatchy News. Davis was known for her strong personality, quick wit and her performances in movies like 'All About Eve' and 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.' She was also known for her wide, expressive eyes, which inspired Kim Carnes' song 'Bette Davis Eyes,' which was recently covered by artist JoJo Siwa. The listing is held by Bill Gaynor and Sam Michaud of Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty. Cape Elizabeth is about a five-mile drive south from Portland.
