Fans of Chick-fil-A’s spicy grilled deluxe sandwich have a few more days to savor it.

The “much loved” sandwich is available until Saturday, March 15, when it’s replaced by the returning smokehouse BBQ bacon sandwich on March 17, according to the Atlanta-based chicken chain.

Last offered in 2021 before returning in January, the spicy grilled deluxe is made with a boneless chicken breast topped with Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce and tomato, and served on a multigrain brioche bun, a product description says.

It reappeared this year alongside two seasonal key lime drinks, which will also leave menus.

All three offerings were part of Chick-fil-A’s winter menu that launched in early January, McClatchy News reported.

On March 6, the restaurant announced it was bringing back the smokehouse BBQ bacon sandwich, plus a lineup of new pineapple dragonfruit beverages in time for spring.

“As warmer weather approaches, our guests are craving flavors that are reminiscent of longer, brighter days and time spent outside with family and friends,” Allison Duncan, director of menu & packaging at Chick-fil-A, said in a news release.

The smokehouse BBQ bacon sandwich and pineapple dragonfruit drinks will be available for a limited time, though the chain didn’t say for how long.
