We tried Chick-fil-A's new seasonal sandwich - here's the verdict

Summer has arrived, and Chick-fil-A is embracing the barbecue season with a new sandwich.

The Smokehouse BBQ Bacon sandwich is the chain's first foray into seasonal entree items and was developed in part by Ford Fry, an Atlanta-based and James Beard Award-nominated chef.

Gilded with candied bacon and a specially formulated bun, this sandwich is decidedly more complex than the majority of Chick-fil-A's menu.

After successful testing in several Southern markets, the sandwich is debuting on May 22 and will be available through August 19.

But the question stands: is it worth ordering? We managed to get our hands on one, and we've put it to the test.
