Wendy’s is bringing back its Spicy Chicken Nuggets after a social media frenzy of tweet likes.

Ask and you shall receive. As long as you get 2 million tweet likes.

Two years ago, Wendy’s discontinued its Spicy Chicken Nuggets. And many were sad — and that includes Chance the Rapper.

Recently, Chance tweeted out his desire — nay, need — for Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets to return.

“Positive Affirmations for today: I WILL have a good day, I Will succeed today, Wendy’s WILL bring back spicy nuggets at some point please please Lord let it be today,” he tweeted.

Well, Wendy’s — whose social media game is always strong — took it and ran.

Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance.
The people in charge say if you guys can get our tweet (this one right here) to 2 Million likes, they will bring SPICY CHICKEN NUGGETS BACK.

And from there, it was on.

Along the way, it was a fun ride on Twitter.

It seems like it may actually happen. Thank you, Twitter.

As the chain said, it’s not clear when it’s happening. But it’s happening.
