Chick-fil-A is releasing Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce on 16 November, its first new permanent sauce in ten years.

Chick-fil-A is launching Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce on 16 November at restaurants nationwide, marking the Atlanta-based chain's first new permanent sauce in ten years. The last permanent sauce addition was Sweet & Spicy Sriracha in 2016.

The new sauce combines the classic condiment's mustard notes and smoky tang with spicy peppers and subtle sweetness. It will be available in standard dipping cups and 8-ounce bottles. The chain's menu team aimed to honour the original flavour whilst creating a distinct new experience.

Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A's director of menu and packaging, said: 'We know our guests love bold, spicy flavors, and in our year of newstalgia, we're turning up the heat on a classic.' She added that the sauce 'delivers an exciting kick to the signature flavor our guests know and love'.

Customers were already discussing the possibility of a spicy sauce before the official announcement. Reactions on social media have been mixed, with some expressing enthusiasm and others questioning whether it will deliver genuine heat. One Reddit user wrote: 'A big pet peeve of mine is so many food items that say spicy but aren't. I'm skeptical of this sauce too.'
