"If you've ever rolled through a Checkers drive-thru - or Rally's, there's no real difference anymore between Checkers and Rally's restaurants - and been handed that paper bag full of steaming-hot french fries, you know that they are something special. These aren't just your run-of-the-mill fried potato sticks, these are tender stalks of pure magic wrapped in a crisp, warm-hued crust that surely should have landed them at the top of the ranking of the best fast food french fries."
"Ryan Joy, a senior director of research and development for Checker's restaurants spilled the beans over on Fast Casual, explaining exactly what makes the brand's fries so delicious. "Unlike most french fries, which are simply cut from potatoes and tossed in a deep fryer, Checkers & Rally's fries are coated in a seasoned fry batter," he explained. And while he didn't quite give away all of the secrets, he did give us some insight into how it's made, "The batter is created from a mixture of flours, starches and 15 different herbs and spices.""
Checkers and Rally's french fries are coated in a seasoned batter rather than being served plain-cut and simply fried. The batter combines flours, starches and a blend of 15 herbs and spices to create a distinctive crunchy exterior and tender interior. Recipe developers have tried to replicate the fries but the complex batter formula makes exact duplication difficult. The chain sells the same fries in grocery freezers, and restaurants maintain consistency by using pre-packaged fries. The battered coating is credited with making these fries highly craveable and distinguishing them among fast-food sides.
