Slim Chickens is about to make pimento cheese fans very happy with the launch of its new Honey Jalapeño Pimento Sandwich and Wrap.
Available as of August 3rd, the new Honey Jalapeño Pimento Sandwich and Wrap will be available for a limited time. The new Honey Jalapeño Pimento Sandwich features a flavorful combination of a hand-breaded chicken breast topped with honey drizzle, creamy pimento cheese and pickled jalapeños, all served on a toasted brioche bun. The same ingredients can also be ordered in the form of a wrap that includes lettuce and cheddar jack cheese. As Patrick Noone, Slim Chickens' Chief Marketing Officer explains, ""Pimento cheese is one of those Southern flavors people feel strongly about, so putting our own spin on it with honey and pickled jalapeños was a natural fit."
