How much is a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich meal?
A Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich meal, with a medium side such as waffle fries and a medium drink, cost about $8.85 to $10.39 at most stores we checked. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich meal ran $9.25 to $10.79 and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich meal $10.45 to $11.79.
Is the meal worth it? Yes, by a little. At the stores we checked, the meal cost about 80 cents to $1.15 less than buying the sandwich, medium fries ($2.45 to $2.99) and a medium soft drink ($2.25 to $2.69) separately. Choosing lemonade as the meal drink added about 35 to 45 cents. You can swap fries for another side, such as a fruit cup or mac and cheese, and some swaps or a milkshake as your drink cost extra. See our Chick-fil-A fries page for side prices.
What is the difference between the original, Spicy and Deluxe sandwiches?
The original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is a breaded, pressure-cooked chicken breast filet on a toasted buttery bun with two dill pickle chips. That is all; there is no sauce or cheese unless you add it. Chick-fil-A says the recipe has stayed the same for almost 60 years.
The Spicy Chicken Sandwich uses a filet seasoned with a blend of peppers, with the same bun and pickles (450 calories). The Deluxe adds green leaf lettuce, tomato and a slice of American cheese (490 calories). The Spicy Deluxe does the same with pepper jack (540 calories). You can switch the Deluxe cheese to Colby Jack or pepper jack, or drop it, which cuts the price by about 30 cents.
Add-ons at the Plano, Texas, store included bacon for $1.50, a cheese slice or tomato for 30 cents and jalapeños for 25 cents.
What is on the Chick-fil-A grilled chicken sandwich?
The Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Sandwich is a lemon-herb marinated chicken breast, grilled, on a toasted multigrain brioche bun with green leaf lettuce and tomato. It has 390 calories, 28 grams of protein and 765 mg of sodium, about half the sodium of the fried sandwich. It costs about $6.55 to $7.29.
Many people search for it as the chargrilled chicken sandwich; on today's menu it is simply the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. If you are looking for a wheat bun, the multigrain brioche bun is the closest option, and you can also put a fried filet on it for about 55 cents more.
The Grilled Chicken Club adds Colby Jack cheese and applewood smoked bacon for $8.39 to $9.35 and 520 calories, with 37 grams of protein. The Cool Wrap is the grilled chicken wrap: sliced grilled chicken, lettuce and a Monterey Jack and Cheddar blend in a flaxseed flatbread, at $8.09 to $9.09 and 660 calories.
What are the new Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches?
The newest Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich is the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich, which launched nationwide on Aug. 24, 2026 for a limited time. A chicken filet, three strips of applewood smoked bacon and a honey butter spread are sandwiched in a maple-flavored waffle, with syrup on the side.
You can choose an original filet ($7.89 to $9.25, 690 calories), spicy ($8.29 to $9.65, 710) or grilled ($8.69 to $9.89, 540). As a meal, the original version ran about $11.79 to $13.69.
