In an effort to expand its chicken offerings for the summer season, Bojangles' has debuted a new Sweet Cayenne Cajun Filet Sandwich, which combines sweet and spicy flavors.

The new Sweet Cayenne Cajun Filet Sandwich is a hearty sandwich featuring the chain's signature Bojangles’ [Cajun Chicken Filet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cajun-ranch-mcwrap). On top of the chicken patty sits a slice of mild jalapeno American cheese, two strips of [crispy hardwood-smoked bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pork-chop-griller) and a portion of creamy Cajun sauce. The sauce is the star of the sandwich, as it boasts a dash of sweetness alongside hints of cayenne and chilis. The whole thing is then served on a toasted, buttered bun to create a sweet and spicy meal that can easily be enjoyed on the go.
