2 news menu items to become available Aug 28, according to company
Chick-fil-A will soon launch a chicken sandwich topped with pimento cheese as a seasonal menu option.
The Atlanta-based fast-food chain said it will make the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich with its well-known original chicken filet plus a few toppings that add a "sweet and subtle spicy kick." It announced the entree on Tuesday.
In addition to the "custom-made" pimento cheese, the sandwich’s toppings will include "mildly pickled" jalapenos and drizzled honey, Chick-fil-A said.
