Chick-fil-A introduces a limited-time offering, the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, featuring a dollop of pimento cheese, pickled jalapeño peppers, and a drizzle of honey.

The new menu item features a chicken breast marinated for 12 hours and seasoned with Cajun spices, but lacks the breading of the chain's existing chicken sandwich. Popeyes is also allowing customers to add bacon and Havarti cheese to all of its chicken sandwiches. The menu changes suggest Popeyes is leaning on the popularity of its chicken sandwich to draw in customers.
Fast food chains prefer smaller chicken breasts for their sandwiches due to better texture and flavor, but poultry producers find larger birds more profitable. The industry's demand for smaller birds has resulted in a shortage, as suppliers are hesitant to make costly adjustments to their processes. Animal welfare organizations support the idea of shifting to smaller, slow-growth chickens, which are generally healthier and taste better.
