As the flowers start to bloom and hopefully the snow soon starts to melt, many people look forward to seasonal menu items making the triumphant return. Starting on February 21, a favorite seasonal Chick-fil-A menu item is back. Ready for those backyard barbecues?

According to Chick-fil-A, the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich has made its return for a limited time. For those unfamiliar, the grilled chicken sandwich is topped with brown sugar pepper bacon, Colby-Jack cheese and the special tangy BBQ sauce. Said to bring a taste of the backyard barbecue, many people long for grandpa to serve this offering from the grill.

When this menu item was introduced, many people couldn’t get enough of both the sauce and the bacon. The tangy, yet slightly sweet sauce compliments the grilled chicken. Without totally losing the protein, the sauce makes each bite an exciting one.

Paired with the bacon, the flavors hit the right balance of spicy and sweet. Although not available as an extra side, many people would probably order that bacon on its own. It might even outshine the chicken.

Looking at the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich, care was taken to create the perfect complete bite. From the special Hawaiian inspired sweeter roll to the Texas style smoke-forward barbecue sauce, there are plenty of reasons to order this limited time menu item. Since the classic southern chicken sandwich isn’t going anywhere, it might be time to switch up the order before the favorite seasonal Chick-fil-A menu item disappears.

Which state loves this favorite seasonal Chick-fil-A menu item the most?

Since restaurants often take care in crafting the menu, it is interesting to see how certain food preferences vary across the nation. Assuming that southern inspired food is more craveable beyond the Mason Dixon line might not always be the correct answer.

Recently, Chick-fil-A shared a list of 10 restaurants that cannot get enough of the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich. From California to Virginia, there were many states that grabbed a pile of napkins and feasted on this limited time offering.

But, the state who topped the list was not the most obvious choice. According to the quick service restaurant brand, Bangor, Maine loves the barbecue forward sandwich the most. While Maine might be known for its lobster and other seafood, they seem to love some tangy flavor with their chicken. Maybe they are just longing for those warmer days ahead.

The Chick-fil-A Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich is back for a limited time at participating restaurants. The exact duration of this food offering is unclear.

What is your favorite Chick-fil-A menu item? Do you always order the same food or do you change the order periodically?
