Wendy’s.

Free chicken nuggets.

What else do you need to know?

The fast food chain announced Tuesday it would be giving out a free order of four crispy or spicy nuggets Friday.

The offer starts after 10:30 a.m. and is limited to a free four-piece per vehicle.

The offer got its start after Wendy’s tweeted a call to action, for users to shout out people who need or deserve support now.

Everyone could use some extra love right now, so we’re trading our usual roasting for a little toasting.

Let’s use this thread to shout out the special people in our lives that we think deserve some shine right now.

The thread warranted thousands of replies and uplifting messages. With all the love being spread, Wendy’s offered free nuggets in place of a hug.

Not gonna lie, all this love y’all are showing has inspired us. We wish we could give you a hug, but instead…how about a nug? This Friday, we’ll be giving out free 4pc spicy and crispy nugs at every Wendy’s drive-thru.

No purchase necessary, not a single string attached.
