Who the hell thinks up this combo. I would never pair maple with lemon herb chicken. Must be that new vendor of chicken I heard about. Thumbs down for me!!
Ewwww that chicken didn't look good at all. I would have it crispy with the buffalo sauce and Mac and cheese before I tried that sandwich there and I'm on a serious diet. Thank you Ashley for the review saved us all from torment
Lemon chicken in all of that doesn’t even begin to make sense. Ima go order it with their regular grilled filet and I guarantee it’s fire. Maple bacon is 🤤
It's actually the same as the regular grilled chicken. It is described as a lemon-herb marinated chicken. It's really not overtly lemon flavored to me.
@@shannons4730 you are so right. I just checked my app! Not only that, but the sandwich lets you choose between the grilled chicken, the regular crispy chicken or the spicy crispy chicken. So there you go! Problem fixed.
What a weird combo! I think maple can go with chicken, like a chicken and waffles type thing, but with lemon chicken, pickles, and pepper jack??? Sounds like someone's weird pregnancy craving. Maybe I'd try it with a normal fried chicken patty and no pickles. I really liked thier summer sandwich last year too, wish they had brought that back instead.
You can have them replace the lemon herb chicken with a regular piece of fried chicken or even the spicy fried chicken. I had this with the spicy fried chicken and it was pretty good.
Ashley, I knew what the "culprit" was before you said a word! Lemon 🍋 is very overwhelming as a flavor, and adding an herbaceous seasoning (possibly parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary???) all but makes it over palatable. The flavors simply don't meld together. Not saying there is anything wrong with each ingredient individually, but it does doesn't equal the sum of all it parts. I would A) Swap the lemon herb chicken for a classic fried chicken breast, and proceed with the other ingredients and/or B) Use the lemon herb grilled chicken as a substituted flavor profile in Chick Fil-A's classic sandwiches 😉 But hey, what do I know? 🤷 My favorite chicken 🍗 is from Popeye's 😂 Love watching your humor, and your car mukbangs...great review, Girl 👍 Greetings from NYC 🗽✌️
I cannot think of any recipe ever that involved lemon and maple 🤨 horrible decision. I'd sub that lemon chicken for a good old regular fried one and it would probably be pretty good! Now I bet that lemon chicken would be awesome shredded in the Market Salad!!! That makes sense. Lemon-Maple. Lemon-Bacon...🙅🏼♀️
I'm gunna be honest, and i am not trying to hate or anything but.. i genuinely miss your salad content. Like everybody does junk food. But your salads were so refreshing and looked delicious
Thank you Ashley for your review. I too didn't see the lemon chicken in the description within the email. My husband and I used to love going to Chick Fil A often, but within like the last year, it goes right through us like Taco Bell (Toxic Hell he calls it LOL). 🤣 He loves Maple anything and now that kind of ruins it to even try. You mentioned no go on candied bacon and I'll tell ya, I make a mean bacon that would make you a fan.
I gave it a try today and didn’t see it say on the online menu that the chicken had lemon in it, thinking you may have gotten someone who didn’t know how to make it. I personally felt it was okay, not great but not horrible. I did mine with a spicy filet and got sort of a chicken and waffles breakfast sandwich vibe. Would recommend personally.
I tried this tonight for dinner. I thought it was OK, but there was a lot going on and the overwhelming maple flavoring is what turned me off from it. I didn't mind the grilled chicken, which I thought I wouldn't like, because I'm not a big fan of lemon in savory dishes. Apparently their normal grilled filet and nuggets are lemon-herb marinated. It's the first time I've ever had their grilled chicken. I also don't like pickles on things, but I liked the hint of spiciness from them in this. I definitely wouldn't buy it again, though.
I wonder if this would be better with the regular breaded chicken? All of the elements sound okay, and like they would go together, except the lemon herb chicken. 🤷🏻♀️ maybe! Thanks for trying it so we don’t have to! I think I would try this combo, but subbing out the lemon herb chicken for the plain fried chicken.
The look on your face says it all 😂 Now perhaps the better fit for this sandwich would be their regular crispy chicken breast vs’s the lemon herb. Maybe you can create your own by substituting the chicken breast. Idk 🤷🏻♀️ just a thought 😅
Yeah this is disappointing. And you can't make a regular grilled sandwhich and sub for the new toppings. They should have just brought back the honey pimento sandwhich that was so good
That’s sad because Chic Fila is usually good on most items. Personally I would have never tried it. I don’t think this sandwich will last long on the menu. However, hands down Popeyes has the best spicy chicken ever.
It all just sounds convoluted, too sweet for me. Those flavors do not mix, I really don’t get the direction. I’d much rather just get a spicy sandwich 😂
I had read the description in the Chick-fil-A app, and I thought it sounded good, but I missed the lemon pepper chicken part. Why??? Ew. I wish they would have just the pimiento cheese back from the other one they did.
When the eye dropped on that pickle.😂💀Brilliant!❤ If they just would have put their crispy chicken in there. Probably would have been much better. Miss the pimento sandwich. It was pretty delish.
I feel like they should have just made two separate sandwiches. Reg chicken with the maple bacon n bun. Then a sandwich with the lemon herb chicken. This feels like a very bad compromise
This is what happens when they let one employee in the board meeting and they are all hungry and they threw together an idea. Cause that concoction sounds like it was the stomach making the decision at 3am the night before after a drunk night. 😂
Thanks Ash, I’m definitely gonna give this a try but I’m gonna swap the chicken breast out for the original breaded one I might like it! UPDATE- I tried it today with original fillet instead of the lemon/breast didn’t hate it, didn’t love it! Wouldn’t order again. 5/10
As a kid that grew up in ND, I LOVE MAPLE, its so delicious. BUT this is so so wrong, the best way to have maple and bacon is by having bacon and pancakes with maple syrup, dip the bacon in some syrup and it's delicious. The second way I know alot of people say is too sweet but maple bacon donuts 🤤. I now wish the old donut shop was still open in my home town.
Lemon…they are doing what they can to cause a stir and they’ll get every influencer in the world and at least 25% of their audience alone just to try it. They already make other great food so you’re going back regardless
I don't like maple glazed breakfast sausage either. Oftentimes, when breakfast sausage is on sale, this is always the cheapest, and all that's ever left when I get to the store.
You're a better person than I am because I never would have even tried that mess; not for all the views in the world. CFA doesn't have a big enough menu to be trying stuff like this.
Ohhhhh, candied bacon! We accidentally got bar S maple bacon and dude im so effing heated that s h i t is NASTY its this fake, sugary, maple-y bacon flavor that im like cool what can i mix it in with? Baked potatoe soup? Groceries are STUPID expensive and I wish I paid attention ugh!
The pimento honey pepper whatever sounded so strange to me. I had no interest in that and I have no interest in this. But I will continue to add bacon to my crunchy original chicken sandwich when I feel extra.
Well, the New York Transplant Vermonter in me died a little when you said you didn't like maple. However, I hate lemon pepper anything, and it has no business being mixed with the beautiful flavor of maple. What even is that??
You better correct that when you first said you don’t like bacon. 😅 I don’t know why CF has such a huge following. I always thought for a chicken place that they were very overrated, but their waffle fries are bomb. Your food from home still looks way better! 😊
Honestly, I'm all about new menu items. That chicken can not go well. My sons father is a trained chef. So I have tried alot of food that i wasn't sure went well together. I mean like, who is on their panel for the tasting before it hits the menu?
I like how you say one…..’imma give it a won’ 😂
😂
@@Ashlovescondiments thanks for pinning me! I’ve never gotten pinned before, you just made my day! 😄❤️
@Ashlovescondiments idk why I can't make my own comment but thank you for your honesty
Does far!? Thanks not trying!
Replace the lemon herb chicken with a regular chicken, and it would be good. The rest of the stuff sounds good together.
My thoughts exactly, the lemon herb chicken makes no sense with the rest
I was gonna say this
Wendy's bacon chicken sammich with maple butter is the gotdam bomb. Get it with extra butter, you won't regret it.
Just so you know all of their grilled chicken is described as "lemon herb"
@@kalipw0210which one they have like 3 chicken sandwiches w bacon
Who the hell thinks up this combo. I would never pair maple with lemon herb chicken. Must be that new vendor of chicken I heard about. Thumbs down for me!!
Real maple on what it belongs on, yes. This is a super pass for me.
Sounds like flavors of a burp, a chunky burp at that 🤢🤮
you can literally get it with a normal or spicy filet
Ewwww that chicken didn't look good at all. I would have it crispy with the buffalo sauce and Mac and cheese before I tried that sandwich there and I'm on a serious diet. Thank you Ashley for the review saved us all from torment
Hear me out now.. a chicken and waffles sandwich with maple sauce and fries on the sandwich. With hot sauce. Lol sounds good to me
YES😊
but not a grilled lemon chicken breast
Maybe. But make that a crispy chicken please.
Lemon chicken in all of that doesn’t even begin to make sense.
Ima go order it with their regular grilled filet and I guarantee it’s fire. Maple bacon is 🤤
I’d leave off that odd squinty pickle too.
It's actually the same as the regular grilled chicken. It is described as a lemon-herb marinated chicken. It's really not overtly lemon flavored to me.
@@shannons4730 oh just the regular chicken? I agree that’s not lemony and I’m wondering why that would bother ash so much.
@@penelopepalm I wondered the same. I went and double checked that the regular grilled chicken was described that way and it is. 🤷🏻♀️

Doing the lords work Ashley. And we thank you!
😅😅 Yep, sure is as I would never try that!!
Chick-fil-a didn't release shit for years, clearly there was a reason. lets just go back to that
They release stuff all the time...
@@Kat19760 as of 2024. The pimento cheese sandwich was their first new sandwich for years
Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken…
Right. They're not that kinda business @@rachelhero3413
They had a fish sandwich they were testing right before COVID 😭never got to try it
I’m convinced that restaurants use a random food generator, pancake batter and ground beef yep that’s the new menu item lol 😂
“That chicken is gross 💅🏻 “ 😂
I knew it wasn't a good combo 😵💫,They should've left it with the chicken 🍗, 🧀,and 🥓. It's like a pregnancy craving chicken sandwich 😂🤰🏽!!!!
Maybe that’s why it kinda sounds good to me cuz I am pregnant 😂😂😅
Your reaction was the best reaction and everything I needed.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that spills on my shirt …. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm so sorry. 😂
I just saw the email not too long ago...you jumped on this! 😂😂😂
Not the Katy Perry eye glitch after consuming that "sweet-heat pickle" 😭💀
“For science” 😂

Replace that chicken with a spicy filet and we talkin!
I ordered this but instead of the lemon herbed situation I got a regular filet and I liked it! I thought it needed more mayo though
Chick fil an isn’t known to add mayo on their sandwiches, you usually do that. Not hard to ask for extra mayo & add it yourself.
I'm gunna be honest, and i am not trying to hate or anything but.. i genuinely miss your salad content. Like everybody does junk food. But your salads were so refreshing and looked delicious

I just tried it today. They were giving samples. It was ok but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I think it would be better with the crispy chicken 🤷🏾♀️
I wonder why they didn’t just use the classic fillet. That would have been fire, I’ll bet.
I laughed so hard during this. Hilarious.
It is good with the traditional crispy CFA chicken.
You can sub out for any chicken option. Also, that’s just the same grill chicken they’ve always had.
Replace the chicken with their regular fried chicken & it'd be like chicken & waffles... always a winning combo.
Omg first O_O I didn't even notice until now. And I agree maple and lemon herb should not be in the same dish
I got the regular breaded patty, & replaced cheese with cheddar it was good & added chick filet sauce
I’m thinking maybe a Smokey barbecue chicken or just a plain crispy chicken
I tried this tonight for dinner. I thought it was OK, but there was a lot going on and the overwhelming maple flavoring is what turned me off from it.

You gotta try the peach milkshake,,soòo good 😊
My location doesn't use a lemon herb chicken, only regular grill chicken 😂

The look on your face says it all 😂

The chicken is the same as a regular grilled chicken sandwich though.
@shannons4730 exactly lol idk what rock these people in the comments have been living under. It's always had a lemon herb flavor to it lol
I got the spicy filet version of this and I loved it.
love your honesty
HOLD UP! Is that unmelted cheese on a hot sandwich? My biggest pet peeve when ordering food lol
I was so confused when you said you didn't like bacon LOL
It's like they came up with 3 sandwiches and couldn't decide which one to choose so they just added them all together.
That’s sad because Chic Fila is usually good on most items. Personally I would have never tried it. I don’t think this sandwich will last long on the menu. However, hands down Popeyes has the best spicy chicken ever.
Y'all is the maple industry, pushing that syrup agenda again! 😂
It all just sounds convoluted, too sweet for me. Those flavors do not mix, I really don’t get the direction. I’d much rather just get a spicy sandwich 😂
have you heard about the changes in their chicken? i’m curious to see if it tastes different. some people say it does and some say it doesn’t
I had read the description in the Chick-fil-A app, and I thought it sounded good, but I missed the lemon pepper chicken part. Why??? Ew. I wish they would have just the pimiento cheese back from the other one they did.
I would order it and substitute a regular fried or grilled chicken breast.
unrelated to the video but as a straight married woman I have to say your eyes are always so bright and sparkly! They are so pretty :)

Broski you gotta try the maple butter bacon chicky sammich from Wendy's...extra butter. You will not regret it!
How can you not like candied bacon? I will die on that hill.
Nice Shirt! 😊😉🤗
Thanks Ash, I’m definitely gonna give this a try but I’m gonna swap the chicken breast out for the original breaded one I might like it!
UPDATE- I tried it today with original fillet instead of the lemon/breast didn’t hate it, didn’t love it! Wouldn’t order again. 5/10
Bring back the spicy pimento chicken sandwich! 😔
YES!!!
I think this sandwich would be good with just an original fried filet. I’m guessing you can order it that way?
But where can we buy your SMASH IT ON DOWNNNNNN shirt????
Who the heck does lemon-pepper chicken with maple?!?!?!?!?!?
see if i was in charge i'd do lemon herb pepper for lunch and a maple chicken for breakfast.
also i'd get rid of the religious element ❤
If "instant regret" had a face!!!😂😂😂😂 Yuck!

I love a maple bacon donut. Damn you just made me break my diet for tomorrow. 😂 worth it.
Could you order it with a regular chicken patty?? Hmmm.
I think maple goes fine with chicken but adding lemon to the maple mix doesn’t sound so appealing. When all else fails, make salad. 🤷🏻♀️😉😉😉
Lemon…they are doing what they can to cause a stir and they’ll get every influencer in the world and at least 25% of their audience alone just to try it. They already make other great food so you’re going back regardless

Id just ask for the regular crispy chicken on there... Because lemon pepper chicken just sounds nasty... But then again i hate lemon pepper anything 😂
Maple with Herbs and lemon... 😮🤦♀️🤔
Chick-fil-a sauce can make dirty taste good.
Ohhhhh, candied bacon! We accidentally got bar S maple bacon and dude im so effing heated that s h i t is NASTY
its this fake, sugary, maple-y bacon flavor that im like cool what can i mix it in with? Baked potatoe soup?

lmao so hard at the math

I knew as soon as you said lemon herb chicken that was gonna be sick. Those flavors don't go.
I bet it would taste great if they just put PLAIN chicken on it!
I like the sandwich w the spicy fried chicken fillet, pepper jack, and no bacon
Try it with the crispy chicken. That’s how I had it today.
This would be a big no for me because I am not a fan of lemon flavored foods.
Uh uh....that sounds like they're trying to give you the 💩 's.
Is the lemon chicken good on its own?
Ehhh it’s ohhhhhkay. 4/10
No chick fil-a sauce? 😂
You better correct that when you first said you don’t like bacon. 😅
I don’t know why CF has such a huge following. I always thought for a chicken place that they were very overrated, but their waffle fries are bomb. Your food from home still looks way better! 😊
Someone gettin fired for this mistake
100% agree!??
Them fries look undercooked.
What a fail Chick-fil-A!
Lemon herb with maple does NOT sound good.
i dont eat Chick-fil-a.but that sounds good to me
CFA is crap no matter what. That is some dry food.
Lemon with maple = cough drop flavor no one asked for
