8 Creative Chick-fil-A Orders Worth Trying
Think you’ve tried everything at Chick-fil-A? The regular menu offers plenty of favorites, but a few smart customizations can give familiar orders a completely different flavor. Some of these combinations are now officially supported through Chick-fil-A’s menu and app, while others are simple ways to pair existing sandwiches, sides, sauces and drinks. Availability and customization options can vary by restaurant, but these ideas are easy starting points for your next visit.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich + Pepper Jack + Zesty Buffalo Sauce
This combination takes Chick-fil-A’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich and turns up the heat with Pepper Jack cheese and Zesty Buffalo Sauce. Chick-fil-A itself recommends this pairing as a way to make the spicy sandwich even more intense. The creamy cheese helps balance the peppery chicken while the Buffalo sauce adds tang and another layer of heat. If you like bold, spicy sandwiches, this is one of the easiest customizations to order.
Frosted Dr Pepper
What was once treated as a fan-made combination is now an official Chick-fil-A menu item. The Frosted Dr Pepper blends Dr Pepper with Chick-fil-A’s Icedream dessert for a cold, creamy drink with the familiar flavor of the soda. It’s sweeter and richer than a regular fountain drink while retaining the distinctive Dr Pepper flavor. Chick-fil-A now offers Frosted Sodas in several fountain-drink varieties, although the selection can vary by restaurant.
Chicken Sandwich + Honey and Sweet & Spicy Sriracha
For a sweet-and-spicy twist, start with the classic Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich and add Honey and Sweet & Spicy Sriracha. Chick-fil-A specifically suggests combining these two condiments for a “swicy” flavor on its chicken sandwich. The honey brings sweetness while the Sriracha-style sauce contributes heat and a little tang. It’s an easy customization that changes the sandwich without adding a long list of toppings.
Hash Brown Scramble Burrito with Grilled Chicken
You don’t have to settle for the traditional chicken option in the Hash Brown Scramble. Chick-fil-A currently offers the breakfast burrito with sliced grilled chicken, crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs and Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. Jalapeño Salsa comes on the side, giving the burrito another layer of heat and acidity. It’s a substantial breakfast that combines the smoky flavor of grilled chicken with creamy cheese and crispy potatoes.
Spicy Southwest Salad with Grilled Nuggets
The Spicy Southwest Salad already packs plenty of flavor with roasted corn, black beans, poblano peppers, red bell peppers, cheese, tortilla strips and chili-lime pepitas. Chick-fil-A currently offers it with Grilled Nuggets, so there’s no need to rely on an unofficial substitution. The grilled chicken adds protein while keeping the salad lighter than some of the breaded chicken versions. Pair it with Creamy Salsa dressing for the combination Chick-fil-A specifically recommends.
Chick-n-Minis + Honey or Sweet & Spicy Sriracha
Chick-n-Minis already combine bite-size chicken with warm mini yeast rolls brushed with honey butter, so they naturally lend themselves to sweet or spicy additions. Chick-fil-A lists both Honey and Sweet & Spicy Sriracha among the available accompaniments for Chick-n-Minis. Honey doubles down on the sandwich’s sweet side, while Sriracha creates a more unexpected contrast with the honey-buttered rolls. Try one sauce at a time so you can decide which direction you prefer.
Frosted Root Beer
If you love old-fashioned root beer floats, Chick-fil-A now has an official version worth trying. Its current Frosted Soda lineup includes Frosted Barq’s Root Beer, which blends the fountain drink with Icedream for a thick, creamy texture. Chick-fil-A also offers a traditional Float, made with fountain soda and a swirl of Icedream. Choose the Frosted version for a fully blended drink or the Float if you prefer the classic soda-and-ice-cream combination.
Grilled Chicken Club + Pepper Jack + Honey Roasted BBQ
The Grilled Chicken Club already combines grilled chicken with Pepper Jack cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato on a toasted multigrain brioche bun. Chick-fil-A says it pairs well with Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce, making the combination an easy way to add smoky sweetness. The sauce works particularly well with the grilled chicken and bacon, while the Pepper Jack adds a mild kick. It’s a good choice if you want something savory and smoky without going for the breaded Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
