Chicken Sandwich Wars: Chick-fil-A Goes Spicy

Chick-fil-A is turning up the heat against rivals KFC and McDonald’s with a new spicy sandwich that debuts nationwide Monday.
The limited-time menu features chicken, marinated in a spicy seasoning and grilled, served on a toasted multigrain brioche bun with Colby Jack cheese, lettuce and tomato and paired with a creamy cilantro lime sauce.
Chick-fil-A tested the sandwich three years ago in selected markets; the Atlanta-based chain has roughly 2,600 outlets in the continental US. We know guests are looking to add more variety to their meals, especially after a year where new food experiences were limited,” menu director Leslie Neslage said, calling the sandwich a flavorful twist and a bold break from lunch and dinner stand-bys.
