Perfect for enjoying on any summer adventure, we hope customers enjoy this latest take on our grilled chicken sandwich!”

The spicy chicken biscuit has also been upgraded from an optional offering to a nationwide menu item.

“The spicy breakfast entrée brings the heat this summer and is made with Chick-fil-A’s signature boneless chicken breast, seasoned with a spicy blend of peppers, and served on a freshly baked buttermilk biscuit,” the company reported in a press release. “This fan-favorite breakfast item will now become a permanent menu item at all Chick-fil-A restaurants.”
