What’s Chick-fil-A’s new sandwich?
Chick-fil-A’s new sandwich will combine sweet and spicy elements. Chick-fil-A said the sandwich came together after nearly 30 different sandwiches were created. Then, the chain had a successful market test in Asheville, North Carolina, and upstate South Carolina, leading the chain to release this sandwich.
“Featuring an original Chick-fil-A filet, topped with custom-made creamy pimento cheese, mild pickled jalapeños and served on a warm, toasted bun drizzled with sweet honey,” Chick-fil-A said in a press release.
“With our custom-made pimento cheese and specially sourced jalapeños, we hope to deliver a new and exciting sandwich our guests will love,” Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A chef and creator behind the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, said.
The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will be available as a fall offering while supplies last.
What does the new pimento Chick-fil-A sandwich taste like?
On Thursday, a Deseret News employee tried the sandwich and told me it tasted like, “biscuits and gravy meets those Chick-fil-A minis.” She said it reminded her of the Chick-fil-A breakfast flavors.
But what stood out to her most was the “delightful sweet and savory sauce.” She said the sandwich “doesn’t need to be doctored at all. It needs zero sauces because that sauce they have on it is perfection.”
While the sauce and the honey were her favorite parts, she thought the cheese was okay, but it wasn’t her favorite element of the sandwich.
“It’s these chunks of cheese. They were not melted. It’s like grated cheese chunks that are on top of it, but I didn’t mind that at all,” she said. “The savory, sweet sauce was so delightful they could have put lima beans on it and I would have loved it.
What’s Chick-fil-A’s new milkshake?

This milkshake was first tested in Utah under a different name. “After a successful market test in Salt Lake City in 2021, Chick-fil-A knew the Caramel Crumble Milkshake (formerly known as the Butterscotch Crumble Milkshake) would be the next shake sensation,” per Chick-fil-A’s press release.
