Chick-fil-A is testing 2 new sandwiches, but only in these NC cities. What to know

Chick-fil-A is offering two new sandwiches, and folks in select North Carolina cities can get a first taste.

The Sweet Chili Lime Crunch sandwich landed on menus this week at participating restaurants in the Piedmont Triad region — including Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point — at as part of a limited-time test, Chick-fil-A said in a news release.

Three chicken sandwiches are arranged on a white surface, showcasing grilled, original, and spicy fillets topped with a dark sweet chili sauce and lime-infused slaw. A fresh lime wedge and small red chili peppers sit in the foreground against a clean, white subway tile background.

The sandwiches, available until March 7, feature an original chicken filet “topped with a Ginger Lime Cool Crunch — made with cabbage, kale and a ginger lime dressing.” It’s then drizzled with a sweet chili sauce and served on a toasted bun. Customers can opt for a spicy or grilled filet.

Pricing information wasn’t immediately available, but the Sweet Chili Lime Crunch Sandwich with an original breaded filet (entrée only) was listed for $6.19 at the Gate City restaurant in Greensboro, according to the Chick-fil-A app.

The exterior of a Chick-fil-A restaurant features a classic red and tan brick facade under a bright, partly cloudy sky. The iconic red script logo is mounted prominently above the entrance, which is shaded by vibrant red patio umbrellas.

Chick-fil-A said it’s also testing an Avocado Sriracha BLT Sandwich exclusively in Oklahoma City.

That one features a chicken filet with lettuce, tomato, avocado mash, bacon and cayenne ranch. Unlike its other chicken sandwiches, the BLT is served on Sriracha Swirled Toast.

The new offerings mark Chick-fil-A’s latest menu innovation. In January, the Atlanta-based chicken chain launched Frosted Sodas and Floats nationwide alongside retro-inspired packaging to commemorate its 80th anniversary.

“We have so much in store this year, delivering menu items and experiences that are fresh and exciting yet firmly rooted in Chick-fil-A’s renowned quality, care, generosity, and hospitality,” said Khalilah Cooper, vice president of brand strategy, advertising & media for Chick-fil-A.

The restaurant hasn’t said if the Sweet Chili Lime and Avocado Sriracha BLT could eventually be offered nationwide.
