In a move sure to delight fans of Southern cuisine, Chick-fil-A has announced the addition of a new side dish to its menu: creamy pimento cheese. This savory and indulgent offering is set to become a permanent fixture at the popular fast-food chain.
Starting this week, Chick-Fil-A is making the Pimento Cheese (used in their Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich), available as a standalone side for dipping.
The Rise of Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese, a classic Southern spread made with shredded cheese, mayonnaise, and diced pimentos, has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. Once considered a regional delicacy, this creamy, tangy delight has now gained nationwide recognition as a beloved comfort food.
Chick-fil-A’s Take on Pimento Cheese
Leveraging the growing demand for pimento cheese, Chick-fil-A has decided to incorporate this Southern staple into its menu. The new pimento cheese side is described as a “creamy, dreamy” interpretation of the traditional recipe.
Chick-fil-A’s culinary team has worked diligently to develop a pimento cheese recipe that captures the authentic flavors and texture of the beloved spread. The result is a smooth, creamy concoction that pairs perfectly with the chain’s signature fried chicken and other menu items.
The pimento cheese side can be enjoyed on its own as a dip or spread, or it can be incorporated into various Chick-fil-A dishes. Customers can opt to have the pimento cheese served alongside their meal, or they can even request it as a topping for their chicken sandwiches or nuggets.
The announcement of Chick-fil-A’s pimento cheese side has generated significant buzz among the chain’s loyal customer base. Many have eagerly expressed their excitement on social media, with some even declaring it a “game-changer” for the fast-food giant.
Availability and Pricing
The pimento cheese side is now available at all Chick-fil-A locations nationwide. Customers can purchase it as a standalone item or add it to their meal for $3.99, or for a larger order, starting at $6.50
It will likely be available for a limited time, although Chick-Fil-A, didn’t announce an end date.
