Grilling season is just around the corner, but if you're already craving some barbecue, just head to Chick-fil-A instead of firing up the coals.
The Atlanta-based fast-food chain, known for its customer service, announced Monday they're releasing two new menu items for the season, both inspired by a backyard cookout.
The Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich features grilled chicken with bacon glazed in a brown sugar pepper blend (in other words candied bacon), with Colby-Jack cheese, topped with the chain's zesty Smokehouse BBQ Sauce and served on a Hawaiian style bun.
The second offering,
Watermelon Mint Lemonade, is spiked with real mint and fresh fruit. It's also available in a diet version. ...
...Chick-fil-A doesn't often play around with its menu, so these two new items are a special addition to the restaurant's usual selection.
"I hope our customers are as excited as I am to get this kind of high-quality sandwich at the drive-thru," said Farmer, who cited America's love of barbecue as a big driver behind the new sandwich....
...Farmer says the sandwich is "unlike anything on the menu" and Chick-fil-A crafted the lemonade specifically to complement the sandwich. ...
