From prep to plate, here’s how our Restaurants put care into every meal.

Is Chick-fil-A food high-quality?

From sunrise breakfasts to nighttime bites, our Restaurants are busy behind the scenes, making sure orders are crafted with quality in mind. From hand-chopping produce to baking breakfast biscuits in-house at every free-standing Chick-fil-A restaurant, we put care into our ingredient sourcing and preparation to focus on freshly prepared food you can feel good about.

1. It starts with real, “Grade A” chicken
The capital “A” in Chick-fil-A is intentional—it stands for “top quality” or “Grade A.” We serve chicken with no added fillers or preservatives ensuring a juicy, flavorful bite every time. Our beloved Original Chick-fil-A®Chicken Sandwich features a whole, boneless chicken breast that’s hand-breaded daily in the kitchen of every one of our restaurants.

2. Baked fresh for breakfast
At every free-standing restaurant, each biscuit is baked fresh each morning, to start your day with a delicious home-made taste.

3. Frequent deliveries for fresh-tasting produce
Our produce is delivered to restaurants up to six times a week to help ensure vibrant colors, crisp textures, and delicious flavor in every dish.

4. Fresh-tasting salads, prepared with care
From leafy greens to quality toppings, our salads are satisfying and flavorful.

5. Ingredients with integrity
We proudly partner with farmers who uphold our standards for quality and safety, so every sip and bite reflect our care. Whenever possible, we source from local growers and suppliers who deliver flavorful ingredients while enabling us to support nearby communities and helping us to reduce our carbon footprint.

6. Refreshing sips
We brew our own proprietary blend of iced tea and make our Chick-fil-A® Lemonade with just three ingredients—lemon juice, water, and sugar—for a refreshing sip anytime. 

From freshly baked biscuits that taste home-made to satisfying salads and responsibly sourced ingredients, we’re dedicated to serving quality ingredients in every bite. Treat your tastebuds right by ordering through our app or online today.
