DALLAS (June 14, 2022) – The summer sun is heating things up and so is Dickey’s Barbecue Pit with the release of its new King’s Hawaiian Spicy Chicken and Cheddar premium sandwich!

From June 13 to Aug. 28, the Texas-style barbecue restaurant is featuring a new spicy summer menu item with pit-smoked marinated chicken breast topped off with cheddar, jalapeños, and spicy barbecue sauce, all nestled in a sweet King’s Hawaiian Bun. With every bite you take into this chicken sandwich, it will be full of spicy and sweet tangy flavors. Dickey’s is not a sandwich shop, but they sure do know how to put one together!

“Here at Dickey’s, we have been serving up top-notch barbecue staples for decades,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Now that the seasons are changing, we wanted to challenge the barbecue norm and create a hot, new innovative addition for our menu.
