Oh, gross. Whoever even heard of a chicken biscuit until some overly imaginative newfangled trendy smartalecky menu creator started a trend with the combination a few years ago? 
Breakfast biscuits are served with sausage and eggs or sausage and gravy. Nobody, and I mean nobody (all right, that seems to mean everybody these days) serves chicken for breakfast.
Chicken for breakfast--and on a biscuit at that, not to the side--is an unholy combination and is not meant to be.
Whatever is happening to the world? To the current generation?

...but at a doughnut shop?!?
With its current trend of adding odd items to its menu, I would not be the least bit surprised if one day someone posts about Dunkin’ Donuts in this thread...

A supposed interview with somebody from the doughnut shop explaining why they have it

didn't know it was a fried chicken thing, that sounds pretty horrible for breakfast. Then again, grilled might not be much better.

I'm guessing it's because the items are high profit, have low labor requirements, and increases use of existing equipment. All of the sandwiches from Dunkin' Donuts are heat and serve. Open package, nuke it in the microwave, and bag it.
In New England, Dunkin' Donuts is almost like a religion. The drive-thru lines on weekends are insane.

You have never been to Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland. It is a mostly overrated underperforming combo (or each individually) at most places, but this is another level of food. You can even choose from their eclectic wine selection for your breakfast or lunch with this meal (should you choose).
I kid you not.

I LOVE Chick-fil-a for breakfast. It's different than your standard fast food places, the employees are happy, and it's better than standard fast food. Chicken for breakfast is great!

Dunkin' has great coffee, IMO.
This will be debatable since coffee is a preferred taste. To me, Dunkin coffee is worth the trip alone.
That's what I go there for.
I typically don't do their food, but they do have a fairly healthy Egg white veggie flatbread. If they had some fresh fruit and yogurt to go with it, it would be a main stop for me in the mornings.
And if you are in a pinch for a croissant on Sunday with your paper, their croissants are decent enough.

Chicken and waffles has been around for ages. Just not on Main Street...
