Summary
  • Chicken and Waffles features maple waffles and three strips of applewood smoked bacon
  • Sandwiches available as breakfast and larger entrée during all-day service
  • S'mores Milkshake and Frosted Coffee use Icedream and graham cracker crumbles
  • Menu is part of Chick-fil-A's Newstalgia celebration of its 80 year heritage

Chick-fil-A is rolling out a limited time Chicken and Waffles menu nationwide that pairs the chain's signature chicken with maple-flavored waffles and new S'mores drinks.

The Chicken and Waffles sandwich places a Chick-fil-A filet between two maple-flavored waffles. It is served with three strips of applewood smoked bacon, honey butter spread and a side of classic syrup. Guests can choose the Original, Spicy or Grilled filet option.

The chain will offer the sandwich in two formats. A breakfast version uses a smaller filet and is available during standard breakfast service. An entrée version uses a full-sized filet and is offered from the end of breakfast service through closing time. Chick-fil-A said the items will be available only for a limited run following positive response in test markets.

Menu pricing begins at the breakfast and entrée base levels reported by the company, though Chick-fil-A noted prices vary by location. Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging for Chick-fil-A, said the menu was designed to "reimagine the comforting flavors our guests crave this time of year" and that the chain wanted a playful and unexpected take on classic dishes.

New S'mores Drinks And Brand Context

The seasonal lineup also includes two S'mores inspired beverages. The S'mores Milkshake blends Chick-fil-A's Icedream dessert with chocolate shortbread, graham cracker crumbles and marshmallow-flavored syrup, finished with marshmallow-flavored whipped topping. The S'mores Frosted Coffee mixes cold-brewed coffee with marshmallow-flavored syrup, Icedream and the same shortbread and graham cracker crumbles.

Chick-fil-A frames the limited menu as part of a wider "Newstalgia" campaign tied to the company's 80 year heritage. The chain has highlighted other offerings and experiences under that banner, including permanent Frosted Sodas and Floats, Classic Cups, merchandise and retro packaging. Chick-fil-A said local owner operators and team members continue to run restaurants across multiple countries and that the new items are intended to deliver familiar flavors with fresh twists.

Company statements noted the chicken and waffles concept had been tested previously and saw strong guest interest in those markets. Duncan said the brand "couldn't wait to share these flavors nationwide" after seeing the test results. Chick-fil-A invited customers to check local restaurants for availability and customization options.
