Its smokey BBQ twister wrap costs £6.99 on its own or £8.99 if you want to make it a meal.
Meanwhile is fillet burger meal can cost £8.99 or £6.99 as a single item.
Elsewhere, in shops nationwide, Greggs said it would bring back its Katsu Chicken Bake.
This comes with chicken breast in a Japanese-inspired Katsu style curry sauce, wrapped in puff pastry.
For those with a sweeter tooth, the Cherry Bakewell Muffin is also back.
Meanwhile, the Cinnamon drinks range is returning to the menu including the Cinnamon Swirl Latte and Cinnamon Flat White.
A Greggs spokesperson said: “We’re always looking for ways to bring new flavours to our menu, and we think these new BBQ Crispy Chicken creations are a real game-changer.
"We're excited to expand our everyday value menu with these sizzling additions and can’t wait for customers to give them a try.”
It comes as Greggs is planning to open between 140 and 150 shops this year, adding to its existing 2,618 shops.
Greggs toasted more than £2billion of sales in 2024 for the first time, a 11.3% increase on the previous year’s £1.8 billion. The firm opened 226 shops last year.
The bakery chain said that it had high demand for its festive flatbreads, festive bakes and gingerbread lattes in the run-up to Christmas.
Its like-for-like sales have slowed to 2.5%, which it said was down to a slip in high street footfall.
Greggs is focusing on more railway shops and travel locations, where the price of some goods are significantly higher, reflecting expensive shop rents.
