Chick-fil-A introduces a duo of culinary delights to its cherished menu. Starting from August 28th, patrons can savor the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, a remarkable rendition of the beloved Original Chicken Sandwich. Accompanying this innovation is the delectable Caramel Crumble Milkshake, a tribute to the forthcoming autumn season. Available nationwide*, these limited-time offerings promise to tantalize taste buds and redefine the dining experience.
Renowned for its penchant for crafting seasonal sensations like the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich and Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich, Chick-fil-A’s culinary pioneers set out to reimagine their iconic Original Chicken Sandwich in an unprecedented way.
Enter the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, an inspired fusion of signature Chick-fil-A elements. Meticulously crafted, it boasts the classic Chick-fil-A filet, adorned with house-crafted creamy pimento cheese, delicately pickled jalapeños, all nestled within a toasted bun infused with a drizzle of honey.
With the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich as the muse, Chef Stuart Tracy embarked on a culinary journey to orchestrate a symphony of tastes – savory, melty textures perfectly punctuated with nuances of saltiness and sweetness. The outcome? A trio of remarkable ingredients that elegantly transform the iconic experience:
- Pimento Cheese: A Chick-fil-A creation par excellence, combining sharp cheddar cheese, green chilis, and red pimentos into a sumptuous spread crowning the Chick-fil-A filet.
- Jalapeños: Making their grand debut at Chick-fil-A, these mildly pickled jalapeños introduce a delicate heat that artfully marries the sweet and savory elements.
- Honey: Gently cascading over the warm toasted bun, honey adds a nuanced sweetness that weaves all the flavors into a harmonious tapestry.
After rigorous taste-testing and a successful trial across Asheville, N.C., and upstate South Carolina in 2020, the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich clinched its place on the national stage. Resonating strongly with customers for its exquisite taste and value, it has rightfully earned its spot alongside the iconic Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich.
