Sonic's Brand New BBQ Chip Seasoned Tots Are Officially Here

Whether you're craving a full meal or just a quick snack, Sonic Drive-In has got you covered. The retro-themed restaurant has over 3,500 locations across the United States, with each one serving up delicious food each day — alongside over a million drink combos. When you're looking to satisfy your hunger with a quick snack, the fast-food chain's menu offers a variety of delicious sides, including French fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and tater tots.

Although Sonic's tater tots are delicious on their own, the chain knows that customers crave something a little different every now and then. The menu features chili cheese tots, adding warm chili and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the potato bites. (If you aren't a chili fan, plain cheese tots are an option, too.) The fast-food chain has also previously offered broccoli cheddar tots as a limited-time offering.

Sonic has just announced its latest alteration to its tater tots, which takes inspiration from another popular potato flavor.

Sonic is taking inspiration from a beloved potato chip flavor for its latest menu item. In a press release, Sonic's Vice President of Culinary and Menu Innovation, explained the reasoning behind the fast food chain's newest creation. "We love combining different flavors and textures to create unique, craveable items," stated Gibson. "Our new BBQ Chip Seasoned Tots are a tasty twist on the classic SONIC Tots with the crispy, tangy and salty goodness of a BBQ potato chip," adding that she hoped the limited-time menu item would take Sonic's tots "to a whole new level!

The new tots will only be available for a limited time, starting at $2.59. Sonic App members can get exclusive early access, and are eligible to order the tots via the app as of February 20. All others will be able to grab an order starting February 27, and the side will stick around until April 27, or until supplies run out at participating locations.
