From the first bite in the morning to the last craving at the end of the day, people crave satisfying food. After a successful limited-time test, run, Chick-fil-A Chicken and Waffles hits restaurants nationwide. And, people can enjoy this sandwich morning, noon, and night.
It has been a big year for Chick-fil-A. From collectible cups to anniversary celebrations, the popular quick service restaurant brand balances classic flavors with innovative applications. Frosted sodas are a prime example. They have the creaminess of dirty soda but feel like the old school soda fountain.
With the Chick-fil-A Chicken and Waffles, the dish is both new and familiar. A nationwide rollout is destined to be a big hit.
Speaking about both the Chicken and Waffles as well as the new S’mores beverages, Allison Duncan, Director of Menu and Packaging for Chick-fil-A explained, “In this year of Newstalgia-inspired celebrations, we wanted to bring something unique this fall by reimagining the comforting flavors our Guests crave this time of year, delivering a taste that feels both familiar and new to appeal to all ages. Both Chicken & Waffles and S’mores are much-loved classics, and we challenged ourselves to bring those flavors to our menu in a playful and unexpected way.”
What Can People Expect from Chick-fil-A Chicken and Waffles?
Since the Chicken and Waffles is available both as a breakfast and an entrée, the sandwiches are similar, yet different. The breakfast option is slightly smaller. While the size differs, the core sandwich is the same.
The sandwich’s build starts with maple-flavored waffles. In between those two sweet bites is a Chick-fil-A filet. Guests can choose Original, Spicy, or Grilled. Then, the chicken is topped with three strips of applewood bacon and finished with a honey butter spread. The sandwich comes with a side of syrup.
Chick-fil-A was smart to offer all three chicken filet options. While grilled makes the sandwich slightly less indulgent, it makes the sweetness pop. Additionally, it allows the crispy waffle to shine, too.
The Spicy option brings the ultimate swicy bite. Even the spice adverse can handle this heat because of the honey butter spread. That condiment helps to temper the spice. At the same time, the spice does not totally disappear. It is a well balanced option.
Did Chick-fil-A Just Make a Play for an All-Day Breakfast Menu?
Several years ago, all-day breakfast was big business in the quick service world. People loved enjoying some eggs on a biscuit at dinner time. But, consumer trends changed and costs skyrocketed. Most restaurants eliminated the option and kept the breakfast meal cut-off.
Only one quick service restaurant continues to offer all-day breakfast. Even so, that brand, Jack in the Box, has a limited footprint across the U.S. Could Chick-fil-A be coming for the iconic Southern California brand?
Chicken and waffles is a smart choice for an all-day breakfast. This sandwich is hearty, filling, and tasty. It does not have time limit on when it should be enjoyed.
