Hollis Johnson/Business Insider Shake Shack has a new lineup of barbecue items for summer.
- Shake Shack has debuted several new limited-time barbecue items for the summer.
- A burger, grilled chicken sandwich, and fried chicken sandwich are the three main new releases.

As unseasonably sweltering weather sizzles in much of the country, summer has more or less arrived - and with it comes the inevitable limited-time barbecue fast-food items. Shake Shack is now serving three BBQ options: the BBQ Cheddar & Bacon Burger, the BBQ Cheddar & Bacon Griddled Chick'n, plus a fried chicken version of it.
The items were launched last week as app-only exclusives and are now available nationwide, excluding airports, stadiums, and ballpark locations.

And Shake Shack's new items aren't just barbecue - they're heavy on the bacon, too.
