Chick-fil-A is one of the nation's most popular places to go for fried chicken, and now the restaurant is pushing new boundaries with the flavors it introduces. Later this month, the fan-favorite restaurant will officially debut a brand new Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich along with a new Caramel Crumble Milkshake.

According to USA Today, the new items will be available for dine-in, pick-up and delivery beginning Monday, August 28, at stores nationwide. However, the new sandwich and shake will only be available for a limited time.
The new sandwich builds off of Chick-fil-A's original chicken sandwich, as "custom-made, creamy" pimento cheese is added on top of a chicken filet. The sandwich also features mild pickled jalapeños on a "warm, toasted bun drizzled with sweet honey."
"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," says Stuart Tracy, a Chick-fil-A chef and the creator of the Honey Pepper Pimento 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 adds.
The product has already been tested in Southern states including Asheville, North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.
Also debuting at the end of the moth is the brand new Caramel Crumble Milkshake. The shake is created using butterscotch caramel flavors, ice cream and blondie crumbles. Naturally, it's topped with whipped cream and a cherry. The milkshake has already been tested in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"Combining new and surprising ingredients with classic Chick-Fil-A flavors, we hope both these new menu items will deliver a delicious new spin for our guests to enjoy," says director of menu and packaging Leslie Neslage.
