A new sandwich is coming to select Chick-fil-A locations in South Carolina and North Carolina.

The Atlanta-based restaurant said in a news release Monday the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich is now available for a limited time.

The sandwich is a twist on the original. It includes the original filet topped with pimento cheese and honey drizzled on top. It also has spicy pickled jalapenos and is sandwiched between a toasted bun.

“The jalapeños add what we call ‘entry-level’ spice,” said chef Stuart Tracy, a senior culinary developer at Chick-fil-A. "They give the sandwich just a little kick, bringing a Southwest influence that pairs well with honey and pimento cheese.”

Customers can try the new sandwich for a limited time at participating restaurants in Upstate South Carolina and the Asheville, North Carolina, area, according to the release. They can find out if a location near them has the sandwich by using the Chick-fil-A app.
