After the frigid winter and wet spring seasons, we didn’t need more reason to look forward to summer, but introducing summer menu items at prominent fast-food restaurants is undoubtedly a plus! The last week has been particularly exciting for fast-food fans looking for a summer refresh at their favorite restaurants. Wendy’s has recently relaunched its seasonal Summer Strawberry Salad for a short time, Popeyes has permanently reintroduced its Blackened Chicken Sandwich, and Chick-fil-A has just stated that it will join the summer launch train as well.
Beginning June 12, the famous chicken chain’s menu will be expanded with four new and returning products, providing customers with additional food and beverage alternatives throughout the warmest season. Two of these additions are seasonal products that Chick-fil-A brings back every year to kick off summer. The business is also testing a new chicken sandwich and bringing a breakfast dish previously only available at limited locations to a nationwide debut, so many fans will be able to try something new from Chick-fil-A.
Here are four great summer treats that will be available at Chick-fil-A starting next week.
1. Peach Milkshake
If the sunny weather isn’t enough to convince you that summer has arrived, the reintroduction of the Peach Milkshake will. Chick-fil-A initially released the dish in 2009 and has been a seasonal staple on the chain’s menu ever since.
Angela Canada, a Chick-fil-A cook, was inspired by her family’s homemade peach ice cream recipe when she set out to produce the greatest version of this cold, sweet delight. Before the restaurant settled on the formula that consumers know and love today, the milkshake went through more than 15 distinct variants.
The Peach Milkshake combines Chick-fil-A’s creamy, vanilla-flavored Icedream dessert with peaches & is topped with whipped cream and a cherry. It will only be available until August 26, or while supplies last, so fans should hurry over to their nearest restaurant to get their hands on one.
2. White Peach Sunjoy
The chain’s returning White Peach Sunjoy is another option to satisfy your stone fruit fix. This delicious drink, originally introduced in 2018, combines the tastes of Chick-fil-A’s signature lemonade, sweetened iced tea, and white peach.
Customers may add white peach tastes to Chick-fil-A’s iced tea, lemonade & Frosted Lemonade, a creamy lemonade and Icedream combo. Like the Peach Milkshake, this beverage will be offered at participating locations nationwide until August 26 or while supplies last.
3. Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich
You’re in luck if you reside in Indianapolis, Ind., or Lexington, Ky., and want to spice up your Chick-fil-A orders. The restaurant is trying a brand-new Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich in certain regions, improving its iconic grilled chicken sandwich with sweet, smokey, and zesty tastes.
The sandwich is made with grilled lemon herb marinated chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, and bacon coated in a brown sugar and pepper mix. All of these delectable ingredients are served on a buttered and toasted maple-flavored brioche bread at Chick-fil-A.
“I’ve always loved maple syrup, so I was excited to incorporate it into our newest chicken entrée and the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich.” “The sweetness of the maple syrup complements some smoky flavors of the grilled chicken and the hint of spice from pepper jack cheese and pickles,” said Christy Cook, a Chick-fil-A cook who created the new sandwich.
Though the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich will initially be accessible in certain areas, fans may hope that the test is successful enough to persuade Chick-fil-A to expand its availability in the future.
4. Spicy Chicken Biscuit
Chick-fil-A’s Spicy Chicken Biscuit is currently available at some locations in the United States, but it will be accessible at all restaurants nationally beginning Monday. The breakfast dish consists of a boneless chicken breast seasoned with a “spicy mixes of peppers,” hand-breaded, fried, and served atop a buttermilk biscuit.
This new item will spice up Chick-fil-A’s morning menu, which currently includes traditional Chicken Biscuits, burritos, Hash Brown Scrambles, and a variety of breakfast sandwiches. The greatest news is that the Spicy Chicken Biscuit will be a permanent menu item once it is released nationwide next week, so consumers will be reassured about losing the breakfast choice in a few weeks or months.
