A Chick-fil-A fan favorite is returning to the menu for the first time in years, alongside another “much-loved” item.

Starting Tuesday, Jan. 7, customers can get their first bites of the grilled spicy deluxe sandwich at participating Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide, according to the Atlanta-based chicken chain.

The sandwich was last offered in 2021 and will join two seasonal key lime drinks: a key lime lemonade and key lime frosted lemonade, Chick-fil-A said in a news release.

Both items will be available for a limited time through March 15.

“Winter is a great time to bring back the grilled spicy deluxe, a sandwich that packs the flavor in every layer, while bringing the spice our guests crave at this time of year,” Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, said in the release.

Set to join the restaurant’s other grilled offerings, the sandwich features a boneless chicken breast topped with Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce and tomato served on a multigrain brioche bun, a product description says.

It also comes with a “creamy” cilantro lime sauce, according to the restaurant.

Chick-fil-A is expanding its lineup of seasonal key lime drinks with the addition of a frosted key lime lemonade, the restaurant chain said.

Added as a limited-time offering in 2019, Chick-fil-A’s key lime beverages will return as part of an “expanded line-up.” The new key lime frosted lemonade is a blend of lemonade, soft-serve “Icedream” dessert and key lime flavors, the restaurant said.

It’s the latest in Chick-fil-A’s rotation of seasonal beverages. Iterations of its signature lemonade, specifically, have included:

  • Cherry berry
  • Watermelon mint
  • Cloudberry
  • Mango passion

Customers can check the availability of the grilled spicy deluxe sandwich and key lime beverages on the Chick-fil-A mobile app, or by contacting their local restaurant.
