I had a #5 grilled chicken sandwich


Well, that's your problem right there. That "grilled" chicken sandwich is awful compared to the crispy deliciousness of the Original. The grilled is thin and I think fake-grilled with painted on "grill" marks and flavor. The fried is thick and juicy and just wonderful.

That's like ordering a hot dog at Burger King. Confused

You done messed up, Son.


Entirely possible...even probable. Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll try another selection.

However, as much as I like their spicy chicken sandwich, I like the one from Wendy's even more. But the service at Wendy's just plain sucks in general and the one 1/2 from my house is worse than sucks. Roll Eyes


Wendy's is our go to fast food place and I always get the spicy chicken sandwich as well. Unlike your experience, the service is always very good. We don't have a Chick-fil-A here yet so I have no dog in that hunt. When one finally comes to town I will definitely try their spicy offering.

Don't discount a morning Chicken Biscuit, either original or spicy...doesn't matter, with honey.

Where are you finding the spicy breakfast chicken biscuity?

That item has been discontinued at all the Chick-Fil-A locations around here.

I miss them.

I'm not a huge fan of their waffle fries either, but if you dip them in their cheese sauce they are on a whole new level.

I don't eat them either. Fries are purely a salt delivery method for me. Salt does not stick well to their fries.

My standard order, which over the years they have messed up exactly once, once in twenty years:

- Lunch Chick-fil-a sandwich, minus pickles, plus pepperjack, plus bacon. Get's small amount of mayo applied to one bun with a touch of S&P, other bun gets slightly more generous coating of Polynesian sauce. Instead of fries I order four chicken nuggets, those are dipped in the remaining poly sauce.

- Breakfast, platter of chicken mini's. I eat as many as I can and try to give others to coworkers, leftovers if there are any are eaten cold for lunch. If no opportunity to give away I will generally order eight for breakfast. If I have the energy or time they get dipped in Poly or Chick-fil-a sauce. If not ordering platter I will usually add peperjack cheese to them. They look at me weird for a second and then take a slice of cheese and rip it into quarters and top each chicken mini for me.

I have tasted the grilled sandwich and thought it was far inferior to their fried sandwiches (Spicy Deluxe my fav). I have no problem with their waffle fries. But I truly miss their chicken salad sandwich, too bad they dropped it from the menu.

Chicken is meant to be fried. Grilled??

I live in a city so there’s plenty of good non-chain places to eat. No need for fast food. I don’t like salty food and I find chik fila salty as hell. More for you guys I guess

I love the original sammich, but that spicy chicken sammy is great too. I always avoid the grilled, they're not substantially better than any other grilled sandwich I can get elsewhere.

If you like chicken salad, theirs is very good. If you need a salad, their new Southwest salad is great with some of their Avocado Ranch dressing.

You dropped the culinary ball, ya old geezer.
