Chick-fil-A’s new honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich and caramel crumble shake
Pimento cheese sandwiches are ordinarily supposed to be served cold, but using the spread on a hot chicken filet works better than you might expect.
  • Chick-fil-A is offering a twist on its classic filet with the honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich.
  • The seasonal offering is complemented with a new caramel crumble shake, so I tried both.
  • I was skeptical of the sandwich, which was better than I expected, but the original's still the best.

Chick-fil-A's original chicken sandwich is about as close as it gets to perfection in fast food.

The pickle-brined chicken breast filet, hand breaded and fried, served with pickle slices on a buttery bun is often imitated, though never duplicated – and the thing about perfection is you simply don't mess with it.
