Chick-fil-A quietly rolls out six new sandwiches for 2026

Chick-fil-A may not operate globally, but its chicken sandwiches, waffle fries and signature sauce have proven powerful enough to keep customers lining up and even international visitors eager to experience it firsthand.

With an emphasis on Southern hospitality and the iconic “My Pleasure” phrase, which remains uncommon among quick-service restaurants, the chain has built a level of customer loyalty that few can match.

That loyalty has helped Chick-fil-A grow even as economic uncertainty and rising food prices push consumers to be more selective with their spending. More households are choosing to cook at home more often than eating out, creating headwinds for the restaurant industry as a whole.

Overall traffic in the food service industry fell 1% in the quarter ending June 2025, according to Circana. This slowdown has forced many fast-food chains to look for new ways to keep customers engaged and strengthen brand loyalty.

However, Chick-fil-A seems unfazed by those pressures. For the eleventh year in a row, the chain has been named the top quick-service restaurant in the American Customer Satisfaction Index 2025 Restaurant and Food Delivery Study, receiving a steady score of 83.

Now that 2026 has begun, the company is leaning into that momentum by bringing back seasonal favorites and surprising fans with several unexpected innovations.

For a limited time, Chick-fil-A is testing two new chicken sandwiches that can be ordered six different ways: the Avocado Sriracha BLT Sandwich and the Sweet Chili Lime Crunch Sandwich, each available in original, spicy, and grilled versions.

The Avocado Sriracha BLT sandwich features lettuce, tomato, seasoned avocado mash, and strips of hardwood-smoked bacon, all served between Sriracha swirl toast and topped with cayenne ranch sauce.

Available Options:

These sandwiches are currently being tested in Oklahoma City through March 7. This is the second phase of testing for the items after a previous limited release in Georgia by the end of 2025.

The Sweet Chili Lime Crunch Sandwich features ginger lime cool crunch, kale, cabbage, and a creamy ginger-lime dressing, drizzled with spicy sweet chili sauce and served on a crusty buttered white bun.

Available Options:

These sandwiches are currently being tested in three North Carolina cities, including Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem, through March 7, or while supplies last.
