The long-announced set of comfort food at Chick-fil-A are almost here!
August has officially arrived. And with that, we’re getting lots of brand new deals, offers, and best of all, menu items. Chick-fil-A has been pretty good at generating buzz online. From their claims of having the best chicken sandwich to the rumors of a new Banana Pudding dessert, it’s safe to say that they know how to harness the power of going viral on the internet. While these were mostly debatable topics, what they revealed just now is actually set in stone. We’re getting the return of two fan-favorite items and a new drink from Chick-fil-A.
This August, Chick-fil-A will be releasing the long-awaited Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, Banana Pudding Shake, and Banana Pudding Frosted Coffee. If you look at social media, you can see how much fans are excited for this release. Most of them recalling past experiences with these menu items while some of them are eagerly anticipating trying them for the first time. But why exactly? Why are people so excited about these items? Let’s take a closer look at each of them.
Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich
First up, we got the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich. It’s an excellent new take on Chick-fil-A’s classic Chicken Sandwich. It features their signature chicken filet drizzled with honey, topped with pimento cheese, and served on a warm, toasted bun with mild pickled jalapeños. If you want something that combines sweet, spicy, and savory all in one sandwich, this is what exactly what you’re looking for.
Banana Pudding Shake
Of course, this summer won’t be complete without a milkshake from Chick-fil-A. 13 years after its last run, the Banana Pudding Shake makes a triumphant return to their menu. It features a creamy blend of Chick-fil-A’s Icedream dessert with banana plus vanilla wafer cookie crumbles which are hand-spun the old-fashioned way. Then, it’s topped with whipped cream and a cherry on top. I don’t know about you, but this is the perfect nostalgic treat to take you back to simpler times.
Banana Pudding Frosted Coffee
Want the same banana pudding flavor but with a kick of caffeine? Try this new beverage. This was actually tested at Chick-fil-A locations in Columbia, South Carolina back in May. This drink is a blend of cold-brewed coffee, the signature Icedream dessert, banana, and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles. Its first limited release was so good that it was actually sold out before its run ended. If anything, that just means that you have to add this to your list of must try drinks this summer.
Starting on August 26, 2024, these new items will be available at all Chick-fil-A locations nationwide. From the looks of it, this upcoming launch is driving fans into a frenzy. So, you better make your plans if you want to have a taste of these new items on the day of their release. Until then, we can enjoy the current new items at Chick-fil-A.

What’s New at Chick-fil-A?
Like most fast food chains this summer, Chick-fil-A has lots of new stuff coming out. They released their summer menu earlier this season, and they recently celebrated the return of their famous mascots. They’ve certainly been busy the past few months and it really shows. So, here’s what’s new at Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A’s Summer Menu
At this point, you know that any time Chick-fil-A comes out with something new, it’s gonna drive fans into a frenzy. And honestly, we can see why. Chick-fil-A is one of the best fast food chains out there in terms of food quality, marketing, and service. So this summer, they had one of the most anticipated releases when they dropped the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich and the Peach Milkshake. The Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich is one of the best sandwiches this summer and the returning Peach Milkshake is practically Chick-fil-A tradition by now. Give them a try before they’re taken off the menu.
The Cows Make a Return
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Cows at Chick-fil-A make an appearance. So for their glorious return, Chick-fil-A made sure they come back with a bang. The Cows are now the stars of a new short film and a new interactive game that can get you some pretty exciting rewards. The game is called Code Moo and you can play it right on the Chick-fil-A app. You can complete missions with your favorite Cows and you can garner rewards that you can cash in for real life discounts and other food rewards. They also just dropped a line of cow-themed merchandise that would make for an excellent addition to anyone’s wardrobe.

From The Club
Looks like Chick-fil-A is bringing their A-game this summer with the release of returning fan-favorites. While I’m really stoked to try these new banana pudding flavored drinks, I’m still waiting on that Banana Pudding desert. It was tested at select locations back in May and then rumors started to swirl that it’s heading into a nationwide release this Fall. Until I actually have it in my hands, I’ll refuse to believe it’s true. But these banana pudding flavored releases might be them dropping hints that the dessert really will be coming soon.
