It’s been 10 years since Chick-fil-A added a new sauce to its lineup, but the wait is finally over. The chain just announced a spicy new condiment that’s putting a fiery twist on one of its most popular flavors.
Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce takes everything fans love about the original, from its smoky tang to its subtle sweetness, and adds a kick of heat.
Chick-fil-A usually tests new menu items before rolling them out nationwide, which is why fans are still waiting for Spicy Chick-n-Strips to hit restaurants across the country. Luckily, they won’t have to wait long for the new sauce.
Beginning November 16, fans can order Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce at locations nationwide, where it’ll have a permanent spot on the menu.
It’s a big moment for the chain’s condiments. Although Chick-fil-A Sauce is now a favorite for dipping nuggets and chicken strips, it wasn’t introduced until 2006, after Honey Mustard, Barbecue and Polynesian sauces.
Since then, Chick-fil-A has built its lineup to include seven sauces. The most recent addition was Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Sauce, which debuted in 2016. Now, a decade later, the chain is finally adding another flavor.
According to Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A’s director of menu and packaging, the goal was to give guests a new way to enjoy one of their favorite flavors.
“We know our guests love bold, spicy flavors, and in our year of ‘newstalgia’, we’re turning up the heat on a classic,” Duncan said, adding that it “delivers an exciting kick to the signature flavor our guests know and love.”
Customers can order the new sauce in dipping cups alongside any Chick-fil-A entrée or fries. The condiment will also be available in eight-ounce bottles for drive-thru and catering orders.
However, there’s one downside for fans who want to keep some on hand at home. Chick-fil-A told Allrecipes that it doesn’t currently plan to sell Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce in grocery stores, as it does with some of its other sauces.
For now, you’ll have to pick it up directly from a restaurant.
