Imagine getting $100 and having the option to spend it on whatever you want at your favorite fast food chain. That's exactly what Delish editor, Khidr, had the privilege of doing (we are dedicated journalists over here) at Chick-fil-A—and trust...he had some THOUGHTS on what's really worth your money.
Full disclosure: This was Khidr's first time at Chick-fil-A, so this is as unbiased of a review as we could get for you all. Please be gentle with his official take:
Best Menu Items For Your Money
Breakfast: Chicken Biscuit $3.79
It's half the price of the Chick-n-Minis and Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel menu items but has wayyy more flavor. The biscuit is perfectly soft and the chicken has the right amount of crispy-yet-softness, you can't go wrong.
Salads: Spicy Southwest Salad $9.79
You may not think of Chick-fil-A as your go-to salad spot, but next time you're trying to get your greens in, you have to try their Spicy Southwest Salad. If a burrito and a salad had a baby, this bad boy would be it.
Entrees: Spicy Deluxe Chicken Sandwich $6.49
Look, it may be the most expensive entree, but it's beyond worth it. The pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce are worth that extra $1.29 compared to the original Chicken Sandwich. Just trust Khidr on this one. Also shoutout to all the buns we've ever loved before: Chick-fil-A's buns are so soft it feels like "it's making out with you," Khidr lovingly proclaims.
Sides: Chicken Tortilla Soup (cup) $5.69
I bet you didn't know that Chick-fil-A offers soup. That's why you're here right now reading this, isn't it? The tortilla crisps on top add that crunch you're looking for and the spicy-savory flavors are perfectly balanced.
Desserts: Chocolate Chunk Cookie $1.69
These taste like they were made in an oven behind the counter by a really lovely grandma. They're soft and gooey, and that chocolate to cookie ratio is all you need in life.
