Shake Shack

(NEW YORK) — As the spicy chicken sandwich trend continues, Shake Shack has created a hot and sweet new sandwich along with some cocktail-inspired drinks for summer.

Shake Shack culinary director, Mark Rosati told ABC News’ Good Morning America the new menu is “the epitome of a fun-loving summertime indulgence.”

“The flavors and textures of our Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, the star of the menu, are sweet, spicy, sticky, crispy and perfectly balanced between the honey glaze and habanero mayo sauce,” he said. “Combined with our cocktail-inspired summerades and new summer shakes, summertime never tasted so good.”

The new marquee item, the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, is made with a honey-glazed crispy chicken breast topped with habanero mayo sauce and shredded lettuce on a toasted potato bun. The spin on the restaurant’s Chick’n Shack, kicks it up a notch with a honey glaze made with shallots, vinegar, salt and pepper, and passion fruit.
