Chick-fil-A fans, pimento cheese is no longer just an ingredient in your favorite chicken sandwich. Enjoy the many ways you can use this side to upgrade your snacking game!
Chick-fil-A just dropped the best news since announcing the return of the crowd-favorite Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich. The fast food chain now offers pimento cheese as a side for a limited-time. Fans and guests can avail a cup of this dip in an individual size or as part of a catering order. Chick-fil-A took cues from what their customers love, prompting the release of a new side with a familiar flavor.
Additionally, Chick-fil-A shared different tasty ways for you to enjoy pimento cheese. It’s been agreed that the dip’s gooey tang goes well with the nuggets or waffle fries. You can even take it home and use as a spread for crackers, or eat it straight out of the cup. There’s also a pro-tip from Chick-fil-A: get the Waffle Potato Chips and dip them into pimento cheese for the ultimate snacking experience!
Currently, there’s no telling when the promotions for pimento cheese dip will last. But our suggestion is to get it as soon as possible. For the latest food news about Chick-fil-A and its new offerings, check back here or visit their website and social media accounts.
The Pimento Craze at Chick-fil-A
I would go as far as to say that we’re seeing Chick-fil-A’s best selection of sides (who doesn’t love cheese?). So, how did we get here? Let’s take a quick trip down the memory lane and explore how the cheesy history started.
Last year, Chick-fil-A broke the big news: the launch of Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich. This was a seasonal item that received so much love from diners. It took the restaurant’s Original Chicken Sandwich to the next level, adding pimento cheese, pickled jalapeños, and honey drizzle to it. After being sold out, the sandwich was gone for a while. And them come August 2024.
The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich made a comeback but now with a spicy variation. The Spicy Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken featured a spicy patty, and was inspired by the experiment made by customers previously. During the initial launch of Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, they swapped out the original patty for a spicy one.
Chick-fil-A believes that the pimento cheese is one of the ingredients that tickled the diners’ taste buds. Now that the chain is offering it as a separate side dish, don’t you think it’ll become more powerful? It adds more texture, richness, and pizzazz to the classic items at Chick-fil-A. As for you? Every trip to your local restaurant is going to be more rewarding!

Other Fan-Favorites at Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A has won the hearts of many because of their chicken sandwiches that taste homemade. What’s even more amazing is that the restaurant isn’t afraid of going out of its comfort zone. This led to an expansive menu with multiple fan-favorites. You’re going to see the Original Chicken Sandwich here, which is kind of a given. But aside from that, freshly-made entrees and sweet treats will keep you coming back to Chick-fil-A.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Can you take more heat? If yes, then this is another entree worth trying. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich looks simple but it packs a bunch of flavors. You’re going to love the boneless chicken breast that’s breaded and pressure cooked in refined peanut oil. The heat comes from the chicken being seasoned with a spicy blend of peppers. It’s served on a toasted bun, or a multigrain variant (upon request), and then layered with pickle chips.
Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
Of course, let’s not forget the OG sandwich. Behind this fan-favorite is a recipe with 60 years of history. It’s identical to the spicy variant; the difference is you get the original flavor of the juicy chicken breast. The refined peanut oil and dill pickles enhance the overall flavor. It’s such a classic choice that’s not to miss!
For those who want to shake things up a bit, this sandwich as well as its spicy variation can be further customized. There’s a variety of sauces, condiments, and fresh toppings for you to choose from. As for the bun, you can have an unbuttered one, a multigrain brioche, or a gluten-free variation. Looking for something more healthy? You can have all the tasty ingredients wrapped in lettuce!
Banana Pudding Milkshake
Taking a break from entrees, we have this fan-favorite icy drink available for a limited-time only. Fans rejoiced when this item came back after 13 years. The Banana Pudding Milkshake is also part of the restaurant’s fall-themed offerings.
The frozen treat promises real bananas mixed with Chick-fil-A‘s Icedream dessert and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles. To make it look even more special, it is finished with whipped cream and a cherry on top. The milkshake was also hand-spun to ensure authentic taste from the banana pudding ingredients. The Banana Pudding Milkshake is available for delivery or pickup until November 16, 2024 and until supplies last.
Chick-n Strips
Finally, here’s a great pair to the new pimento cheese dip! The Chick-n Strips are made from the most tender part of the chicken breast. They go through the same preparation as the chicken patty found in sandwiches. The strips are seasoned, breaded, and then cooked in 100% refined peanut oil. They make an ideal option if you want something that’s a step above chicken nuggets.

From The Club
As a cheese lover, I can’t wait to try the pimento cheese dip from Chick-fil-A! I mean…I’ve had a taste of it from the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, but the experience will be different especially with some waffle potato fries. I also love how it can be ordered as part of catering options. It’s going to be a great addition to potlucks and fall party food, and I’m sure others would agree that almost everything tastes better with melted cheese!
