Chick-fil-A Menu With Prices, Calories & Guide November 2026
Chick-fil-A has built its reputation on a fairly short menu done with unusual care: a pressure-cooked chicken sandwich on a buttered bun, crisp waffle fries, hand-breaded nuggets, and a counter staff known for being unusually polite. This guide walks through the full Chick-fil-A menu with typical prices and calories for November 2026, covering sandwiches, nuggets and strips, breakfast, salads, sides, sauces, desserts, drinks, and kids meals. Use it to compare options and to plan an order that fits your budget and appetite before you reach the counter or the drive-thru.
The chain began in Georgia in the late 1960s and has grown into one of the largest chicken restaurant groups in the United States, with more than 3,000 restaurants. Its most famous habit is also its most important planning detail: every Chick-fil-A restaurant is closed on Sundays, so a Sunday visit is never an option. Most locations serve breakfast until 10:30 AM and then switch to the lunch and dinner menu for the rest of the day, with many restaurants staying open until 10:00 PM. The two items that define the menu are the Original Chicken Sandwich and the waffle fries, and the Chick-fil-A app runs a rewards program that lets regular guests earn points toward free food.
Before the tables, it is worth being clear about how these prices work. Chick-fil-A does not set one single price for the whole country, so the same sandwich can cost a little more in a big city or at an airport than it does in a smaller town, and ordering through a delivery app usually tacks an extra fee onto the restaurant price. The numbers below are therefore typical ranges for November 2026, drawn from ordinary menu listings, rather than a promise of the exact price at your nearest restaurant. Where a price is harder to pin down, or where it shifts a lot from place to place, the table says so directly with phrases such as varies by location or around, so you can use this page as a planning guide and check the local menu for the final figure.
Chicken Sandwiches
The sandwich section is where most Chick-fil-A visits start, and it stays deliberately small. The Original Chicken Sandwich is a boneless breast, breaded by hand, cooked in peanut oil, and served with pickles on a toasted bun, and almost every other sandwich on the list is a variation on that same idea, with heat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, or a grilled fillet swapped in. Meals add medium waffle fries and a drink, which usually adds about three to four dollars to the sandwich price.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Chicken Sandwich | $4.99–$5.69 | 440 | The signature sandwich; breaded chicken breast with pickles on a buttered bun |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | $5.29–$5.99 | 450 | Same build as the Original with a spicy-seasoned fillet |
| Deluxe Chicken Sandwich | $5.79–$6.49 | 500 | Original fillet with cheese, lettuce, and tomato |
| Spicy Deluxe Chicken Sandwich | $6.09–$6.79 | 540 | Spicy fillet with cheese, lettuce, and tomato |
| Grilled Chicken Sandwich | $6.49–$7.29 | 390 | Grilled fillet with lettuce and tomato; the lightest sandwich here |
| Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich | $7.49–$8.29 | — | Grilled fillet with bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato; price varies by location |
| Original Chicken Sandwich Meal | $8.49–$9.49 | — | Sandwich with medium waffle fries and a medium drink |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich Meal | $8.79–$9.79 | — | Spicy sandwich with medium waffle fries and a medium drink |
| Grilled Chicken Sandwich Meal | $9.99–$10.99 | — | Grilled sandwich with medium waffle fries and a medium drink |
Pro Diner Tip: if you like the Original but want a little more from it, the Deluxe is usually the smartest upgrade, because cheese, lettuce, and tomato cost less than a dollar more than the plain sandwich and make it feel like a fuller meal. Guests watching calories can switch to the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, at 390 calories against 440 for the Original, though it costs more.
Value analysis: sandwiches run from $4.99 to $5.69 for the Original up to $7.49 to $8.29 for the Grilled Chicken Club, and a meal adds roughly $3.50 to $4.00 on top of the sandwich alone. That makes the Original Meal, at $8.49 to $9.49, one of the best-priced full lunches on this page, while the grilled options ask you to pay extra for a lighter fillet. If price matters more than anything else, the plain Original on its own is the cheapest way into the menu.
Nuggets & Strips
Nuggets and strips are the other half of the Chick-fil-A lunch crowd, and they suit anyone who wants chicken without a bun. Nuggets are bite-sized pieces of the same breaded breast used in the sandwiches, served in counts of five, eight, twelve, and thirty, while Chick-n-Strips are longer, hand-breaded strips that eat more like a main dish. Grilled nuggets give the same idea in a lighter form, with far fewer calories per piece.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-count Nuggets | $3.69–$4.29 | 160 | Smallest nugget order; one dipping sauce included |
| 8-count Nuggets | $4.99–$5.69 | 250 | The standard nugget order; one dipping sauce included |
| 12-count Nuggets | $6.99–$7.99 | 380 | Built for sharing or a bigger appetite; two sauces included |
| 30-count Nuggets | around $16.49–$18.49 | 750 | Party-sized box; approximate, varies by location |
| 8-count Grilled Nuggets | $5.49–$6.19 | 130 | Grilled nuggets; much lighter than breaded nuggets |
| 12-count Grilled Nuggets | $7.49–$8.49 | 200 | Grilled nuggets in the larger count |
| 3-count Chick-n-Strips | $5.29–$5.99 | 310 | Three hand-breaded strips; one sauce included |
| 4-count Chick-n-Strips | $6.79–$7.49 | 410 | Four strips; a full lunch on its own |
| 8-count Nuggets Meal | $8.49–$9.49 | — | Eight nuggets with medium waffle fries and a medium drink |
Pro Diner Tip: the 8-count nuggets at $4.99 to $5.69 are the sweet spot for one person, because the 5-count is only a little cheaper per piece and the 12-count is more food than most people need at lunch. For two, a 12-count to share plus fries often costs less than two 8-count orders, and grilled nuggets give the same idea without the breading.
Value analysis: nuggets scale fairly cleanly, from $3.69 to $4.29 for five up to $6.99 to $7.99 for twelve, so the price per nugget falls as the count rises. The 30-count box, at around $16.49 to $18.49, is the cheapest per piece on the whole menu, which is why it works well for a group. Strips cost more per piece than nuggets, so they make sense when you want a heartier, knife-and-fork style lunch rather than the lowest price.
Breakfast
Breakfast at Chick-fil-A runs until 10:30 AM, and it is built around the same chicken, served on a biscuit or a muffin instead of a bun. The Chicken Biscuit is the morning version of the Original sandwich, while the Egg White Grill is the lighter option, with grilled chicken, egg white, and cheese on a multigrain English muffin. Hash browns, fruit, and breakfast burritos round out a short morning list that ends sharply at half past ten.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Biscuit | $4.19–$4.99 | 460 | The morning signature; chicken fillet on a buttermilk biscuit |
| Spicy Chicken Biscuit | $4.49–$5.29 | — | Spicy fillet on a biscuit; price varies by location |
| Egg White Grill | $4.49–$5.29 | 300 | Grilled chicken, egg white, and cheese on a multigrain English muffin |
| Chicken, Egg & Cheese Muffin | $4.79–$5.49 | 310 | Chicken with egg and cheese on an English muffin |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Muffin | $4.29–$4.99 | — | Bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin |
| Hash Brown Scramble Burrito | $5.49–$6.29 | — | Chicken or sausage with hash browns, egg, and cheese in a tortilla |
| Hash Brown Scramble Bowl | $5.29–$5.99 | — | Hash browns, egg, and cheese with chicken or sausage, no tortilla |
| Hash Browns | $1.99–$2.49 | — | Crispy shredded potato rounds; the cheapest breakfast side |
| Fruit Cup (small) | $2.49–$2.99 | — | Mixed fresh fruit; a lighter breakfast side |
Pro Diner Tip: breakfast ends at 10:30 AM without exception, so arriving at 10:15 still works but arriving at 10:35 does not, and the drive-thru line is often longest in the last half hour before the switch. The Egg White Grill is the standout for a lighter morning, at 300 calories against 460 for the Chicken Biscuit, for roughly the same money, while the hash browns at $1.99 to $2.49 are the cheapest way to add something warm to any morning order.
Value analysis: breakfast mains run from $4.19 to $4.99 for a Chicken Biscuit up to $5.49 to $6.29 for a Hash Brown Scramble Burrito, which puts a Chick-fil-A breakfast in the same price band as a fast-food lunch. The Chicken Biscuit is the best value for a classic morning order, and the Egg White Grill is the best value for fewer calories without paying much more. A biscuit plus hash browns stays under seven dollars in most locations.
Salads & Bowls
Salads at Chick-fil-A are proper meals rather than side dishes, each built around a full portion of chicken and priced close to a sandwich meal. The Cobb Salad is the richest of the three, with bacon, egg, cheese, and avocado ranch, while the Market Salad leans lighter with fruit, nuts, and a berry dressing, and the Spicy Southwest Salad brings heat with a chili-lime dressing. Each salad can be ordered with grilled or breaded chicken, and the grilled version keeps the calories lower.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobb Salad | $9.49–$10.99 | 550 | Grilled chicken with bacon, egg, cheese, and avocado ranch dressing |
| Market Salad | $9.99–$11.49 | 540 | Grilled chicken with fruit, nuts, and berry dressing; the priciest salad here |
| Spicy Southwest Salad | $9.99–$11.49 | — | Spicy chicken with beans, corn, and chili-lime dressing; price varies by location |
| Chicken Tortilla Soup (cup) | $3.99–$4.99 | — | Seasonal soup; not on the menu all year, confirm locally |
Pro Diner Tip: the Market Salad is the best choice when you want a salad that still feels fresh in winter, because the fruit and nuts give it a different character from the other two, while the Cobb is the pick when you are properly hungry and want a salad that eats like a meal. Ask for the dressing on the side if you are watching calories, since the dressing on a Cobb Salad adds a noticeable amount on top of the 550 calories listed for the salad itself.
Value analysis: salads run from $9.49 to $10.99 for the Cobb up to $9.99 to $11.49 for the Market and Spicy Southwest, which puts them a dollar or two above a sandwich meal. That premium buys more chicken and vegetables and no fries, so a salad is better value for a lighter lunch and worse value when you simply want the most food for the money.
Sides
Sides at Chick-fil-A are short and focused, and one of them carries the whole section. Waffle fries are the signature side, cut in a lattice shape that stays crisp on the edges and soft inside, and they appear in almost every meal on the menu. Mac and cheese is the second most-ordered side, a baked dish with a blend of cheeses, while the kale crunch, fruit cup, side salad, and soup give lighter or fresher alternatives.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waffle Fries (small) | $2.19–$2.79 | 270 | Small lattice-cut fries |
| Waffle Fries (medium) | $2.59–$3.29 | 360 | The standard fries size; included in most meals |
| Waffle Fries (large) | $3.19–$3.89 | 450 | Largest fries size; built for sharing |
| Mac & Cheese (small) | $3.29–$3.99 | 190 | Baked macaroni with a cheese blend |
| Mac & Cheese (medium) | $3.99–$4.99 | 270 | The standard mac and cheese size |
| Kale Crunch Side | $2.49–$2.99 | 120 | Kale and cabbage with an apple cider vinaigrette; the lightest side here |
| Fruit Cup (medium) | $3.49–$3.99 | — | Mixed fresh fruit |
| Side Salad | $3.99–$4.49 | — | Small mixed salad; a lighter swap for fries in a meal |
Pro Diner Tip: swapping fries for a side salad or a fruit cup in a meal usually costs nothing extra at most locations, and it is the easiest way to lighten a sandwich meal without changing the sandwich itself. The large waffle fries are the best side for sharing, because at $3.19 to $3.89 they cost only a little more than a medium and give a genuinely larger portion, while the kale crunch at 120 calories is the lightest side on the menu by a clear margin.
Value analysis: sides run from $2.19 to $2.79 for small waffle fries up to $3.99 to $4.99 for a medium mac and cheese, so a side on its own is a small add-on rather than a second course. Mac and cheese is the priciest side per portion, but also the most filling. Fries remain the cheapest and most popular side, and the large is the better buy when two people are sharing.
Sauces & Extras
Sauces are a bigger part of the Chick-fil-A experience than at most chicken chains, because the nuggets and strips are built to be dipped. The house sauce, a smoky, tangy blend, is the one most regulars ask for by name, and Polynesian, honey mustard, barbecue, ranch, and garden herb ranch cover the sweet, smoky, and creamy ends of the range. One sauce comes with most nugget and strip orders, and extra sauces cost a small amount.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chick-fil-A Sauce (8 oz bottle, retail) | around $3.49–$3.99 | — | Bottled sauce sold at the restaurant and in grocery stores; approximate |
| Chick-fil-A Sauce (with meal) | Included | 140 | One sauce included with nugget and strip orders |
| Extra Dipping Sauce | around $0.50 | — | Additional sauce beyond the included one; price varies by location |
| Polynesian Sauce | Included / around $0.50 extra | 110 | Sweet and tangy dipping sauce |
| Honey Mustard Sauce | Included / around $0.50 extra | 45 | The lightest sauce listed |
| Barbecue Sauce | Included / around $0.50 extra | 45 | Smoky barbecue dipping sauce |
| Garden Herb Ranch Sauce | Included / around $0.50 extra | 140 | Creamy ranch dipping sauce |
| Extra Cheese Slice | around $0.70–$1.00 | — | Add cheese to a sandwich; price varies by location |
Pro Diner Tip: the included sauce is part of the nugget order, so ask for the sauce you actually want rather than taking whatever is handed over, and ask for a second sauce if you are sharing a 12-count, because one small tub rarely stretches across twelve nuggets for two people. Honey mustard and barbecue, at 45 calories each, are the lightest sauces on the list, while the house sauce and ranch, at 140 calories each, add as much as a small side to the meal.
Value analysis: sauces are the cheapest part of the menu, with an extra sauce at around fifty cents and a bottle of the house sauce at around $3.49 to $3.99 for home use. The extra that costs real money is cheese, at around $0.70 to $1.00, so it is usually cheaper to order the sandwich that already has the topping than to build it from a plain sandwich with paid extras.
Desserts & Drinks
Desserts and drinks at Chick-fil-A are built around the same sweet, creamy flavors as the rest of the menu. The milkshakes are hand-spun and thick, the Frosted Lemonade blends lemonade with the chain’s vanilla soft-serve, and the chocolate chunk cookie is a warm, baked add-on that many guests order with a meal. Drinks run from soft drinks and sweet tea to lemonade and coffee, with free refills on dine-in soft drinks at most locations. If you want to see how these drink prices stack up against other chains, our drink menu guide compares them side by side.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frosted Lemonade | $4.19–$4.99 | 330 | Lemonade blended with vanilla Icedream; the signature cold drink |
| Vanilla Milkshake | $4.49–$5.29 | 590 | Hand-spun vanilla milkshake |
| Chocolate Milkshake | $4.49–$5.29 | 590 | Hand-spun chocolate milkshake |
| Strawberry Milkshake | $4.49–$5.29 | 590 | Hand-spun strawberry milkshake |
| Frosted Coffee | $3.99–$4.69 | 240 | Cold-brew coffee blended with vanilla Icedream |
| Chocolate Chunk Cookie | around $1.99–$2.49 | 350 | Warm baked cookie; approximate, varies by location |
| Icedream Cone | $1.99–$2.49 | 170 | Soft-serve cone; the cheapest dessert here |
| Soft Drink (medium) | $2.19–$2.79 | 0–190 | Free refills for dine-in at most locations |
| Sweet Tea (medium) | $2.49–$3.09 | 120 | Sweetened iced tea |
| Lemonade (medium) | $2.49–$3.09 | 170 | Fresh lemonade, also sold diet and light |
| Freshly Brewed Coffee | $1.99–$2.49 | 0 | Hot coffee; the cheapest hot drink here |
Pro Diner Tip: the Frosted Lemonade is the drink to try if you have never had it, because it is the one dessert drink that no other chain makes quite the same way, and at 330 calories it is far lighter than a milkshake at 590. A milkshake is a dessert in itself rather than a drink with a meal, so if you order one, consider skipping the fries or sharing them.
Value analysis: desserts and drinks run from $1.99 to $2.49 for a coffee or an Icedream cone up to $4.49 to $5.29 for a milkshake, so the gap between the cheapest and the dearest sweet is about three dollars. The Frosted Lemonade at $4.19 to $4.99 sits between the two and gives a more unusual flavor for less money than a shake. Soft drinks and tea at $2.19 to $3.09 are the cheapest drinks, and the dine-in refills make them the best drink value for anyone staying to eat.
Kids Meals
Kids meals at Chick-fil-A are built for younger guests, with smaller portions of the same chicken and a choice of side and drink. Every kids meal comes with a main, a side, and a drink, and the sides on offer are the same waffle fries, fruit cup, and mac and cheese that adults order, in a smaller size. The nuggets kids meal is the most ordered, and the grilled nuggets version gives parents a lighter option for the same price band.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kids Nuggets Meal (5-count) | $5.49–$6.49 | — | Five nuggets with a kids side and a drink |
| Kids Grilled Nuggets Meal | $5.49–$6.49 | — | Grilled nuggets with a kids side and a drink |
| Kids Chick-n-Strips Meal (1 strip) | $5.49–$6.49 | — | One strip with a kids side and a drink |
| Kids Mac & Cheese Meal | $5.49–$6.49 | — | Small mac and cheese with a kids side and a drink |
| Kids Meal with Waffle Fries | $5.49–$6.49 | — | Any kids main with kids waffle fries and a drink |
Pro Diner Tip: the kids meal price stays in the same $5.49 to $6.49 band whichever main you pick, so let the child choose the main they will actually eat rather than steering them to the cheapest one, because there is no cheaper one to steer them to. The fruit cup side is the pick for parents who want a lighter meal, and it costs the same as the fries side, so the healthier choice does not cost extra.
Value analysis: at $5.49 to $6.49, a kids meal costs about three dollars less than the cheapest adult meal, and it still includes a main, a side, and a drink, which makes it one of the best-priced full meals on the menu. For a family, two adult meals plus two kids meals usually comes to less than four adult meals by a wide margin, and the uniform price means budgeting for children is simple: count about six dollars per child and you will be close.
Current Deals & Value Picks
Chick-fil-A does not run the loud bundle deals that burger chains advertise, and it has no national value menu in the usual sense. Its value comes instead from three quieter sources: the app rewards program, periodic free-item offers, and the catering trays that feed a group for less per person than separate meals. The offers below are the ones worth knowing about in November 2026, but several of them come and go, so treat them as current patterns rather than permanent prices. For the latest local menu and ordering, check Chick-fil-A’s official site, and for lunch planning across chains, see our lunch menu guide.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Chicken Sandwich Meal | $8.49–$9.49 | — | Best-priced full lunch; sandwich, medium fries, and a medium drink |
| 8-count Nuggets Meal | $8.49–$9.49 | — | Same meal price as the Original sandwich meal |
| 30-count Nuggets | around $16.49–$18.49 | 750 | Cheapest nuggets per piece; built for sharing |
| Kids Meal (any main) | $5.49–$6.49 | — | Main, side, and drink for about six dollars |
| App rewards (Chick-fil-A One) | Free with app | — | Earn points on orders toward free food; rewards vary by tier and location |
| Free sandwich promos | Free when running | — | Periodic app offers, often tied to new openings or events; confirm locally |
| Chilled Nuggets Tray (small, serves 8) | around $33.00–$38.00 | — | Catering tray to reheat at home; approximate, varies by location |
Pro Diner Tip: the app is the single best value tool at Chick-fil-A, because points build up on ordinary orders and turn into free food without any coupon hunting, and periodic free-sandwich offers usually arrive through the app first. If you visit even twice a month, download the app and scan every order, since un-scanned orders earn nothing, and check the app before a visit rather than after, because some offers have to be added to the order before you pay.
Value analysis: the value ladder here is clear. A single guest does best with an $8.49 to $9.49 meal, a family does best with kids meals at $5.49 to $6.49 alongside adult meals, and a group does best with a 30-count box or a chilled catering tray, where the price per nugget falls well below the price of a single order. The app rewards sit on top of all of that, adding free items over time, but the free-sandwich promos are periodic rather than permanent, so do not plan a visit around one without confirming it is running at your location.

All the figures here are typical US ranges for November 2026, not fixed prices — your local restaurant may charge a little more or less, and delivery menus usually cost more than ordering at the counter.
