The Chick-fil-A spring menu has been announced by the brand with a series of new and returning favorites that are intended to tap into consumer demand for spicy sweet (swicy) flavor experiences.
The menu starts off with the returning Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich that's at once savory, spiced and sweet to maintain its backyard barbecue-inspired profile. The menu also includes the Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages, which come in four flavor options including Frosted Lemonade, Lemonade, Iced Tea and Sunjoy. The menu will arrive at participating locations starting March 17, 2025.
Director of Menu & Packaging Allison Duncan commented on the Chick-fil-A spring menu saying, "As warmer weather approaches, our Guests are craving flavors that are reminiscent of longer, brighter days and time spent outside with family and friends. We’re thrilled to bring back the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich, with an expanded lineup of options for our Guests, alongside our new Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages which offer a deliciously sweet and refreshing balance to the smoky BBQ flavors.”
