Chick-fil-A to debut new chicken sandwich and milkshake. Here’s when and what to know

Chick-fil-A is putting a seasonal twist on a fan-favorite and will add a new milkshake in time for fall.

Starting Aug. 28, customers can order the new Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich at participating restaurants nationwide, excluding Hawaii, the Atlanta-based chicken chain announced in a news release.

The Caramel Crumble Milkshake will also join Chick-fil-A’s fall lineup, the release said.

The seasonal offerings will be available for a limited time, while supplies last.

A spin on its original chicken sandwich, the new Honey Pepper Pimento version features an “original Chick-fil-A filet, topped with custom-made creamy pimento cheese, mild pickled jalapeños and served on a warm, toasted bun” that’s drizzled with honey, according to a product description.

It’s the first time Chick-fil-A has tinkered with the classic sandwich, giving customers in Asheville, North Carolina, and upstate South Carolina a first taste back in 2020, the release said.

Now chicken lovers nationwide will have a chance to try it for themselves.

“We wanted to create a standout sandwich that would deliver a unique spin for our guests, without losing the classic taste of the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich,” Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A Chef and creator of the new sandwich, said in a statement.

Those in search of something sweet can try the Caramel Crumble shake. It’s the restaurant’s seventh seasonal milkshake, this one reminiscent of “the flavors that caramelize at the bottom of a blondie pan,” according to Chick-fil-A’s website.

The hand-spun treat is made with vanilla soft serve blended with butterscotch caramel flavor, blondie crumbles and topped with a cherry and whipped cream.

Pricing information for the new offerings wasn’t immediately available.
