Chick-fil-A’s Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich
Chick-fil-A’s Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich was the brand’s first-ever twist on the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich in 2023 and quickly became a fan-favorite. Featuring a Chick-fil-A filet drizzled with honey, topped with pimento cheese, and served on a warm, toasted bun with mild pickled jalapeños.
After its first successful limited run from August 2023 to November 2023, the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich returned to Chick-fil-A’s menus across the United States in August 2024, along with the new Spicy Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich.
In a press release last month, Chick-fil-A called the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich its “best-selling seasonal offering of all time”, while noting the spicy version was inspired by customers themselves.
“When we released the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich last fall, not only did we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback, but we also saw our guests making their own unique twists by swapping the original filet for the spicy filet,” said Chick-fil-A Chef Stuart Tracy in the news release. “We are thrilled to deliver what we know our guests want more of!”
Chick-fil-A’s Banana Pudding Milkshake Also Makes a Comeback
The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich isn’t the only fan-favorite Chick-fil-A offering that recently made a comeback. Last month, the chain also brought back the Banana Pudding Milkshake, a seasonal treat that guests have been requesting since its initial debut in 2011. With cooling, comforting flavors, the sweet and creamy milkshake is made with Chick-fil-A Icedream dessert mixed with real bananas and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. According to USA Today, the dessert is available in stores until November 16th.
The August return of the Banana Pudding Milkshake coincided with the launch of Chick-fil-A’s new Banana Frosted Coffee. The treat, which remains available, is a combination of cold-brewed coffee, the chain’s signature Icedream dessert, banana, and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles.
