Chick-fil-A is bringing back several seasonal fast-food favorites on June 8, including the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, Pineapple Dragonfruit drinks, and Peach treats. The items are returning for a limited time as part of the chain’s summer menu push.
According to Chick-fil-A, the rollout is tied to its yearlong “Newstalgia” celebration, which marks 80 years of the brand by mixing familiar favorites with newer twists. This event spans menu items, guest events, retro packaging, and the return of Cow Appreciation Day on July 14.
Summer favorites are back
Delish reported that the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich is one of the big returning items in the summer lineup. It comes with either an Original or Spicy filet, plus pimento cheese, mild pickled jalapeños, and honey on a toasted bun. A spicier version is also available.
Chick-fil-A highlights that the Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages are also back, with a new Pineapple Dragonfruit & Sprite option joining the lineup. Guests can also order the flavor with Lemonade, Frosted Lemonade, Iced Tea, or Sunjoy.
That gives customers a few different ways to try the tropical flavor, depending on whether they want something fizzy, creamy, sweet, or more tea-based.
Peach season is getting some of the spotlight too. The Peach Milkshake is returning nationwide for a limited time, and Chick-fil-A describes its peach treats as an unofficial start of summer for many guests. Finally, the Peach Frosted Lemonade is also back. It gives the peach flavor a colder, sharper twist by pairing it with Chick-fil-A’s Frosted Lemonade style.
Why Chick-fil-A is bringing them back
Chick-fil-A said in their coverage, this summer is about bringing back the “fun, flavors and experiences” guests keep asking for. Khalilah Cooper, vice president of brand strategy, advertising, and media for Chick-fil-A, said the Newstalgia idea is meant to deliver familiar favorites with fresh twists for a new generation.
How to order
Guests can order the returning summer items starting June 8 at participating Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide. They can also check availability and order through Chick-fil-A’s online ordering system or the Chick-fil-A app.
Since these are limited-time items, availability may vary by location. So if the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich or Peach Milkshake is your summer thing, it’s worth checking your local restaurant before making the trip.
