Chick-fil-A is hoping to brighten its customers’ cold, gray days by bringing back two popular menu items from its past.
The popular chicken chain announced Monday the return of the Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich along with two refreshing Key Lime seasonal beverages. The sandwich and beverages will be available at participating restaurants nationwide for a limited time starting Jan. 7.
First introduced in 2021, the Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich quickly became a fan-favorite, according to the company, and was the first spicy grilled sandwich the chain offered.
The sandwich features a boneless breast of chicken, marinated with a blend of peppers and grilled for a “tender and spicy” taste, served on a toasted multigrain brioche bun with Colby-jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, and tomato, according to Chick-fil-A. It is served with a side of creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce.
“Winter is a great time to bring back the Grilled Spicy Deluxe, a sandwich that packs the flavor in every layer, while bringing the spice our Guests crave at this time of year,” said Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, in a news release.
