Chick-fil-A brings back fan favorites by popular demand

HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Chick-fil-A is bringing back two popular seasonal items and announcing one new item will make its debut at the end of the month.

Starting August 26, the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will return to participating Chick-Fil-A locations nationwide for a limited time by popular request.

The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich made its debut in 2023 as the brand’s first-ever twist on the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich.

“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.

The positive feedback and twists inclined Chick-Fil-A to soon offer its own spicy version of the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich.

"They [guests] inspired us to officially offer a spicy version as its own menu item, and we are thrilled to deliver what we know our guests want more of," Tracy continued.

Both original and spicy versions of the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will feature the filet of choice drizzled with honey, topped with pimento cheese and served on a toasted bun with mild pickled jalapenos.

The Banana Pudding Milkshake will also be making its return to menus after a 13-year hiatus.
