Chick-fil-A makes pimento cheese available as standalone side for a limited time
If you're a fan of Chick-fil-A's Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, the fast-food chicken chain has some good news for you.
The company announced Monday its pimento cheese is now available as a standalone side for a limited time, while supplies last, via individual or catering orders.
The sandwich is still available in Chick-fil-A restaurants, but starting Monday, customers can get a side of just the pimento cheese starting at $3.99, or for a larger catering order, starting at $6.50.
What to do with a side of Chick-fil-A Pimento Cheese?
Chick-fil-A offers lots of ideas of how to best use its Pimento Cheese, such as a dip for waffle fries of nuggets or to spread on biscuits or sandwiches. The company also suggests taking it home with its Waffle Potato Chips.
What is the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich?
The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, as well as the spicy variation of the sandwich, are "the brand's best-selling seasonal offering of all time," according to Chick-fil-A, while noting the spicy version was inspired by customers themselves.
“When we released the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich last fall, not only did we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback, but we also saw our guests making their own unique twists by swapping the original filet for the spicy filet,” said Chick-fil-A Chef Stuart Tracy in a news release last month. “We are thrilled to deliver what we know our guests want more of!”
The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich was the company’s first time trying something new with the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. It was first released in 2023 and became a favorite among customers.
The sandwich comes with a chicken filet coated in honey, topped with pimento cheese and mild pickled jalapeños. Guests can try it with an original chicken filet or a spicy filet.
