Chick-fil-A’s got a new chicken sandwich

- Kara VanDooijew­eert

Looking for another reason to line up down the side of a highway for some fast food? We’ve got one for you:

On Monday, August 28, Chick-fil-A will be launching the new Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich.

And — with ingredient­s never used before in a Chick-fil-A entrée — you can bet the crispy clucker will have the right lane of Route 10 backed up from Morris Plains to Dover.

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming sandwich.

What’s on Chick-fil-A’s Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich?

In an August 15 announceme­nt, Chick-fil-A said the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich would feature a crispy chicken filet, custom-made pimento cheese and pickled jalapeños on a “warm, toasted bun” drizzled with honey.

A fall seasonal offering, the company says the sandwich “combines classic Chick-fil-A flavors with a sweet and subtly spicy kick.”

According to its creator chef Stuart Tracy, “The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich uses ingredient­s and flavors our guests have never experience­d at Chick-fil-A before,” namely the pimento cheese and jalapeños.

When (and how long) will the sandwich be available?

The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will be available beginning on Monday, August 28, and will stay on the menu throughout fall.

Where can I get the Chick-fil-A Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich?

The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will be available nationwide at all Chick-fil-A locations.

(Except for Hawaii. Because the Aloha State already has enough good things going for it, we guess).

Will Chick-fil-A launch any other ‘fall’ items?

In addition to the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A will serve a Caramel Crumble Milkshake for the fall months. The shake will include caramel, butterscot­ch and blondie crumbles, and is meant to be an ode to the “cozy flavors of the fall” (a seasonal associatio­n that — since we eat a ton of sticky goodies around Thanksgivi­ng and Halloween — checks out).
