Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich

The original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is a boneless breast of chicken, hand-breaded, pressure-cooked in 100% refined peanut oil, served on a toasted buttered bun with two dill pickle chips. It is the sandwich the chain was built on and still its best-known item.

The à la carte sandwich typically runs about $4.85, with the meal (sandwich, side, and drink) around $8–$10. Prices vary by location and Operator — see your local menu for the exact figure.

The classic sandwich is about 400 calories. Adding cheese, bacon, or extra sauce (as on the Deluxe) raises the total. Check the app for the current nutrition facts.

Just the hand-breaded chicken filet, a toasted buttered bun, and two dill pickle chips. That is the original recipe. You can add sauce, cheese, lettuce, or tomato at most locations.

The original is not spicy. For heat, order the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which uses the same build with a seasoned, spicy breading. See our spicy sandwich guide.

100% refined peanut oil. The high smoke point gives the crispy crust and the oil is highly refined, which removes the proteins that trigger most peanut allergies. See our cooking oil guide.

No. The breaded filet contains wheat, and it is served on a wheat bun. If you need gluten-free options, see our gluten-free menu.

The Deluxe adds lettuce, tomato, and American cheese to the same hand-breaded filet on a bun. The original keeps it minimal: filet, bun, and pickles only.

No. The lunch menu — including the chicken sandwich — starts at 10:30 AM when breakfast ends. Breakfast items run until then. See our breakfast hours guide.
