Get to know the flavors of the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich
We’re taking our Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich and creating something completely new. Inspired by all the elements of a great sandwich – savory, salty, sweet, and spicy flavors — the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich is a flavorful spin on a familiar favorite. Watch the video and hear Chick-fil-A chef Stuart Tracy describe the story behind this sandwich.

Our founder, S. Truett Cathy, tested many recipes when creating the Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich. Finally, customers said, “We like it. Don’t change a thing.” We agree. That’s why the original filet is the center of the new Honey Pepper Pimento Sandwich.
Pickled jalapeños

We replaced the dill pickle chips in the original sandwich with pickled jalapeños, which have a mild spiciness — what Chick-fil-A chef Stuart Tracy calls “entry-level spice” — and pairs nicely with the pimento cheese.
