Chick-fil-A Launches First New Permanent Sauce in 10 Years, Adding Spicy Version on Nov. 16

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 14

Nov. 16 marks the nationwide debut of Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce, the chain’s first permanent sauce addition in a decade, sold in dipping cups and 8-ounce bottles.
Customer research over the past year drove the launch, with Chick-fil-A saying guests most consistently asked for a spicy take on its signature sauce and broader bold-flavor options.
The new sauce keeps the original’s mustard notes and smoky tang while adding spicy peppers and subtle sweetness, as the menu team aimed to preserve the classic flavor profile.
The release follows online speculation and mixed Reddit reaction, with some customers welcoming the idea and others doubting whether a fast-food “spicy” sauce will deliver much heat.
Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce is the first new sauce since Sweet & Spicy Sriracha in 2016; the original Chick-fil-A Sauce went nationwide in 2006.
