Chick-fil-A Menu Prices 2026: Sandwiches, Combos & Cheapest Items

The Original Chicken Sandwich is priced around $5.25 at most U.S. Chick-fil-A locations as of May 2026. Pricing varies by operator: California, the Northeast and major airport / urban-mall locations typically run $5.75–$6.49, while Southern and Midwest markets often hold near $4.99–$5.25. The Deluxe (with lettuce, tomato and cheese) runs about $5.95, and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is around $5.85.

A standard Chick-fil-A Meal Combo includes the entrée + a Medium Waffle Potato Fries + a Medium drink. The Original Chicken Sandwich Meal runs about $10.49, the Spicy is about $10.99, the Deluxe is $11.05 and the 8-piece Nuggets Meal is about $10.39. You can substitute the fries for Mac & Cheese, a Fruit Cup or a Side Salad for a small upcharge, and upgrade the drink to a Frosted Lemonade for about $1.50 extra.

The 12-piece Nuggets Meal runs around $12.15 at most U.S. locations as of May 2026 — that's twelve hand-breaded nuggets, a Medium Waffle Fries and a Medium drink. À la carte, the 12-pc Nuggets alone are about $7.49. The Grilled 12-pc Nuggets Meal runs slightly higher, around $12.85.

Founder S. Truett Cathy decided in 1946 — opening day of his first restaurant, the Dwarf Grill in Hapeville, Georgia — that he would close on Sundays so he and his employees could rest, spend time with family and worship if they chose. The policy has held for every Chick-fil-A restaurant ever since, including all ~3,000 U.S. locations. The chain still posts the highest per-store annual sales in U.S. fast food (~$9 million) despite operating only six days a week.

Yes — modestly. A like-for-like comparison: the Chick-fil-A Original Chicken Sandwich at $5.25 is roughly $1.25 more than the McDonald's McCrispy at $3.99, and the Original Chicken Sandwich Meal at $10.49 is about $2.50 more than McDonald's $5–$8 equivalents. Chick-fil-A sits at the $$ tier vs. McDonald's at $, but ranks consistently #1 in the American Customer Satisfaction Index for fast food — customers pay more and report stronger satisfaction.

Chick-fil-A serves breakfast from open (typically 6:00 or 6:30 AM) until 10:30 AM seven days a week — except Sundays, when the chain is closed all day. The lunch menu starts at 10:30 AM. Breakfast standouts include the Chicken Biscuit ($4.59), Chick-n-Minis 3-ct ($5.05), Egg White Grill ($5.39) and the Hash Brown Scramble Bowl ($5.49).

The unwritten standard is one sauce per nugget tier — typically 1 sauce with a 5-pc kid's, 1–2 with an 8-pc, 2 with a 12-pc, and 3–4 with a 30-pc tray. Operators are flexible and will usually provide extras on request. Sauces available free with order include Chick-fil-A Sauce, Polynesian, Honey Mustard, Garden Herb Ranch, Zesty Buffalo, Sweet & Spicy Sriracha and Barbeque. The 8 oz bottled retail version costs about $3.69.

The Waffle Potato Fries themselves contain no gluten ingredients — they are made from skin-on potatoes cooked in canola oil. However, Chick-fil-A does not certify them gluten-free because the fries share cooking-oil and prep equipment with breaded items. Customers with celiac disease should consult the official Chick-fil-A allergen guide and confirm with the operator. The grilled menu (Grilled Sandwich, Grilled Nuggets, Cool Wrap with no soft tortilla) is the safer route for gluten-sensitive guests.

A Medium Frosted Lemonade is around $4.55. It's the chain's fresh-squeezed lemonade hand-spun with vanilla Icedream — effectively a lemonade milkshake. The Frosted Coffee (Medium) runs about $4.45 and uses cold-brewed iced coffee instead. Both are seasonal favorites that remain on the year-round menu.

The Spicy Deluxe runs about $6.25 vs. $5.85 for the regular Spicy Chicken Sandwich — roughly a $0.40 upcharge for Colby-Jack cheese, green-leaf lettuce and tomato. For most customers it's worth it: the cheese mellows the cayenne heat, and the tomato adds moisture. If you prefer the heat front-and-center, stay with the regular Spicy.
