A classic tops the list for the second year in a row

When it comes to ordering at Chick-fil-A® restaurants, everyone has a go-to entrée. From coast to coast, one thing is certain: you can never go wrong with a tried-and-true classic.

In 2021, the famous Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich reclaimed the number one spot as the most popular entrée on the menu, surprisingly outranking Chick-fil-A® Nuggets after their years-long reign at the top of the list.

After testing out hundreds of recipes, our founder, Truett Cathy created the recipe for the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich with two pickles on a toasted buttered bun, and to this day, each one is still crafted with quality ingredients and breaded by hand.
