Starting Jan. 7, customers can spice up their life with the sandwich, then cool it down with the citrusy drinks at participating restaurants nationwide, for a limited time.

Key Lime Seasonal beverages are back

Originally introduced as a limited-time offering nationwide in 2019 — and only for about two months — Chick-fil-A’s Key lime drinks are back after five years.

  • Key Lime Frosted Lemonade combines Lemonade or Diet Lemonade and Chick-fil-A “Icedream,” which is a soft-serve-style dessert, mixed with natural Key lime flavor.

This long-awaited return has been met with praise online, with one fan posting on X, “Keylime is back at Chick-fil-A and I’m about to be a broke boy.”

Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich is also back

The Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich was first introduced in 2021 and features a grilled breast of chicken marinated with a blend of peppers, along with Colby Jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, tomato and Cilantro Lime Sauce served on a toasted multigrain brioche bun.

“Winter is a great time to bring back the Grilled Spicy Deluxe, a sandwich that packs the flavor in every layer, while bringing the spice our Guests crave at this time of year,” said Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, in a press release, adding that the Key lime drinks could “beat those winter blues.”
