Customers have major gripe with Chick-fil-A even though they're praising new spicy sandwich as 'one
CHICKEN fans may now score a brand-new menu item from a popular fast food chain, but one customer has raised concerns.
Chick-fil-A just launched its newest addition to the menu - the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich.
Starting August 28, fast food fans were able to get their hands on the sandwich, and for the most part, loved it.
Customers took to social media to offer their reviews, with one X, formerly known as Twitter, user writing: “The honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A is stupid good.”
A Reddit user wrote: “I tried it yesterday. Might be one of the best fast-food sandwiches on the market. It’s very very good!”
However, one reviewer had a different opinion.

FOOD CRITIC
A writer from NJ.com did enjoy the ingredients of the newest addition to the Chick-fil-A lineup but had one gripe.
The reviewer thought that while it sounds good “on paper,” it doesn’t work.
They feel that sometimes, great ingredients can be too much of a good thing.
“There is too much going on with this sandwich — so much so that your hands might get sticky from honey dripping off the chicken,” the critic said.

They added later in the article that because the ingredients are too bold, you end up losing the flavor of the spicy chicken.
“The toppings simply overwhelm the chicken on the classic variation, tasting more like a honey pimento sandwich than a chicken sandwich,” he added.
NEW EATS
The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich is a new take on the classic fried chicken favorite.
It’s mixed with the classic Chick-fil-A flavors but has a sweet and spicy kick.
The sandwich has the original Chick-fil-A filet, topped with a custom creamy pimento cheese, and mild pickled jalapeños.
It’s then served on a warm, toasted bun and drizzled with sweet honey.
Chick-fil-A broke down the ingredients like this:
The Pimento Cheese is custom-made by the company with sharp cheddar cheese, green chilis, and red pimentos.
Other ingredients feature jalapeños - a never-before-used item for Chick-fil-A.
The chicken chain said that they are sourced “especially for the brand’s menu item” to provide the perfect amount of heat, balancing the sweet and salty flavors.
Lastly, the sweet and smooth honey is drizzled on top of the toasted bun “to tie everything together,” the company said.
The new Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich will not be available at any Hawaii locations, per a company press release.

The chicken chain confirmed that seasonal fan-favorite has been discontinued.
Plus, Chick-fil-A revealed a special 10-year-old recipe after fans begged the chain to bring the dish back.
