After the successful debut of seasonal entrees like the Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich and the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich, Chick-fil-A's culinary team began experimenting with the fan-favorite Original Chicken Sandwich.

In a recent news release, Chick-fil-A chef Stuart Tracy stated:

“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. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich uses ingredients and flavors our guests have never experienced at Chick-fil-A before, balancing savory, sweet and spicy elements using the highest quality ingredients”.

He added:

“With our custom-made pimento cheese and specially sourced jalapeños, we hope to deliver a new and exciting sandwich our guests will love."

The upcoming Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will be made with the same breaded chicken fillet as a standard sandwich. However, it will be taken to the next level with pimento cheese spread and honey drizzled on top. The sandwich will also include pickled jalapenos instead of pickles.

Furthermore, according to chef Stuart Tracy, this sandwich will be savory and melt in the mouth, with just the perfect amount of salt and sweetness to balance it out. To add a unique twist to the new item on the menu, he chose to add three ingredients to the original version of the sandwich.

The three ingredients are:

Pimento Cheese: This is a savory cheese that will be added as a topping to the original fillet, which is produced especially for the restaurant by Chick-fil-A. It is made with a blend of green chilies, cheddar cheese, and red pimentos.

Honey: A drizzle of honey will be added to the warm, toasted bun, to take the sandwich to the next level.

Jalapenos: Chick-fil-A has never used mildly pickled jalapenos in an entree before and they were exclusively prepared for the brand's newest menu item. They will add just the right amount of spice to balance the sweet and salty flavors of the sandwich.
