New England-born brand pairs thoughtfully crafted flavors and generous portions with the return of its fan-favorite Pumpkin Spice Banana Puddin’

Haven Hot Chicken Leans Into Comfort This Fall with New Garlic Parm Tendies New Haven, CT (Restaurant News Release) Haven Hot Chicken, the fast-casual concept known for its high-quality ingredients and five distinct levels of heat, is welcoming the cooler months with limited-time offerings beginning Oct. 1.

Guests can dig into the Garlic Parm Tendies, which start with Haven’s signature chicken dipped in mild before being coated with the brand’s garlic parm shake. More than a simple garlic powder and Parmesan combination, the shake features Pecorino Romano, herbs and spices, giving the classic combination a little more character. The new Pesto Ranch, Haven’s house-made ranch blended with fresh basil pesto, offers a creamy option for dipping.

The Garlic Parm Tendies are available as a Tendie Duo for $10.99 or a Tendie Trio for $13.99. Guests can also opt for a Tendie Duo Combo for $15.75 or a Tendie Trio Combo for $18.75, with Haven’s traditional Southern sides rounding out each order.

“When we develop a new menu item, we want the flavors to complement the chicken rather than compete with it,” said Rob LaTronica, founder and culinary lead for Haven Hot Chicken. “The Garlic Parm Tendies have a richer, more indulgent profile, while the Pesto Ranch cuts through that richness with a bright, fresh flavor. That balance is what makes the combination work.”

Haven’s Pumpkin Spice Banana Puddin’ will also be available through Nov. 30, while supplies last. Priced at $5.49 at Connecticut locations and $5.99 at the Franklin, Mass., location, the dessert is whipped with pumpkin spice and pumpkin spice caramel, then topped with cream, more pumpkin spice caramel sauce and a pumpkin spice Nilla wafer brown sugar shake.
