Raising Cane’s Celebrates National Chicken Finger Day with Freebies and Star Power
Raising Cane’s is once again setting the summer on fire—this time on National Chicken Finger Day, officially observed on Sunday, July 27, 2025. What began in 2010 as a playful brand-created holiday has blossomed into a full‑blown celebration, topped off this year with celebrity flair and unprecedented giveaways.
What’s Happening Today
-
On July 27, 2025, every customer who purchases a Box Combo® at Raising Cane’s—whether in‑restaurant, drive‑thru, via app, or online—will receive one extra chicken finger for free. That means the iconic meal now comes with five tenders instead of four—no coupon, no loyalty club membership needed.
-
This is the first time the chain is offering the extra finger to all customers, not just its Caniac Club members.
Special guest alert:
Snoop Dogg is front and center in the promotional campaign. He made a surprise appearance at a Cane’s location in Las Vegas earlier this week, taking orders, frying up chicken fingers, bagging combos, handing out copies of his new album Iz It a Crime?, and posing with fans. Even his puppy Baby Boy Broadus made an appearance.
The nationwide ad campaign features Snoop riding through the sky in a festive red Cadillac sleigh, spreading Cane’s sauce and holiday-style joy with the message: “Happy National Chicken Finger Day to all, and to all a good bite!”
