Chick-fil-A is bringing back two fan favorites this coming August!

Over the years, Chick-fil-A has created some of the most iconic fast food items of all time. They truly revolutionized what you can do with chicken and the results were instant hits. We’ve seen them release fast food items that are the very definition of comfort food. They’re just bursting with flavors that resonate with many of their customers. Which is why they’re so popular even when they’re taken off the menu. Luckily, Chick-fil-A occasionally brings back these popular menu items even if it’s just for a limited time.

This August, Chick-fil-A will be bringing back two classic menu items for a limited-time: the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich and the Banana Pudding Milkshake. These items were absolutely amazing during their initial runs and based on buzz online, the magic is still there.

First up, there’s the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich. It features the signature Chick-fil-A chicken filet drizzled with honey, topped with pimento cheese, and served on a warm, toasted bun with mild pickled jalapeños. It’s the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory at the same time.

To wash down the sandwich, Chick-fil-A is also bringing back the Banana Pudding Milkshake 13 years after its last run. Hand-spun the old-fashioned way, this milkshake mixes Chick-fil-A Icedream dessert with banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. It captures the nostalgic taste of banana pudding that we all know and love.

We bet you’re just as excited as we are for the return of these fast food items! The good news is, we wouldn’t have to wait that long as they’ll be available at all participating Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide starting on August 26, 2024.

Stay tuned for more updates!

What’s New at Chick-fil-A?

Summer season is in full swing and so are the summer menus from our favorite fast food chains! Chick-fil-A has a great lineup of limited-time seasonal items that are simply perfect for the warmer weather. We got two items from them, one brand new and one returning. Let’s take a look at each of them.

Chick-fil-A’s latest entree reminds us why they’re the best at making chicken sandwiches. The Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich is made with a lemon-herb marinated grilled chicken filet, maple-flavored brioche bun, green leaf lettuce, pepper Jack cheese, candied pepper bacon, and spicy bread and butter pickles. It’s tastes as amazing as it sounds. It’s perfect for anyone looking to add a bit of heat and sweetness to a savory mix of flavors.

What kind of summer would it be if we didn’t get Chick-fil-A’s Peach Milkshake? It’s reached cult status at this point and Chick-fil-A fans eagerly await this fan favorite’s return every single year. This seasonal item is made with Chick-fil-A’s signature Icedream® dessert, blended with real peach puree to create a creamy, fruity delight. Topped with whipped cream and a cherry, the Peach Milkshake offers a perfect balance of sweetness and rich, peachy flavor. Truly, one of the best limited-time shakes of all time.

Chick-fil-A’s Fall Menu Preview

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. We’re finally getting confirmation that Chick-fil-A is putting out a Banana Pudding Milkshake in August. But what about their long rumored Banana Pudding dessert? This menu item has been generating a ton of buzz online with people speculating when we’ll get a nationwide release of the elusive dessert. Last May, we got confirmation that Chick-fil-A was indeed testing a new banana pudding in select locations in Georgia. Word got out and fans went absolutely nuts. Lots of people were talking about how good their new dessert is. So naturally, everyone started clamoring for the Banana Pudding dessert at their local Chick-fil-A.

If we were to believe the rumors, we just might be getting the Banana Pudding dessert this fall. And that’s not the only banana pudding item we’re getting from Chick-fil-A. We’re also getting the Banana Pudding Frosted Coffee and the continued run of the Banana Pudding Milkshake. Only time will tell if these rumors would prove to be true. But if anything we can count on, it’s that we’re 100% sure Chick-fil-A will still deliver something special.

From The Club

In all fairness, Chick-fil-A has a long list of discontinued seasonal items that would make headlines if they were to bring them back. That’s just how good they’ve been at creating iconic fast food items. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich is easily one of their best chicken sandwiches of all time. But the real kicker here is the Banana Pudding Milkshake. It’s been off their menu for more than a decade and they’re finally bringing it back! If you ask me, it’s to drive up even more hype for the eventual banana pudding dessert they’ll release this fall. I could be wrong though. But anyway, things are shaping up nicely for Chick-fil-A in the coming months!
