Chick-fil-A is kicking off a new sandwich on Aug. 28. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich features a sweet and spicy kick and is topped with custom-made creamy pimento cheese and mild pickled jalapeños. It's served on a toasted bun drizzled with sweet honey, according to a press release.

"We wanted to create a standout sandwich that would deliver a unique spin for our guests, without losing the classic taste of the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich," Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A chef, said in the press release. "The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich uses ingredients and flavors our guests have never experienced at Chick-fil-A before, balancing savory, sweet and spicy elements using the highest quality ingredients. With our custom-made pimento cheese and specially sourced jalapeños, we hope to deliver a new and exciting sandwich our guests will love."

The chicken brand will also launch the Caramel Crumble Milkshake. It's made with creamy butterscotch caramel flavors, the company's signature Ice Dream, blondie crumbles and whipped cream and a cherry.

"Innovation has been part of Chick-fil-A's history since 1964 when S. Truett Cathy created the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich," Leslie Neslage, director of menu and packaging, said in the press release. "Since then, we're always in tune with our customers' appetites and look to create menu items that satisfy their cravings and offer unique flavor combinations. Combining new and surprising ingredients with classic Chick-fil-A flavors, we hope both these new menu items will deliver a delicious new spin for our guests to enjoy."

Chick-fil-A operates more than 2,800 restaurants in 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada.
