Chick fil A is a favorite fast-food staple for many, including me, because in my professional, culinary review – it’s yummy. However, my favorite thing about “the Chick” is Chick fil A’s super-secret, only to be discovered by Sherlock Holmes menu.
Ordering from the super-secret menu is a great way to mix it up, and be one of the cool kids. Feel the peer pressure, people, and keep up with what’s on fleek at the Chick.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to learn a secret handshake or use phrases like “on fleek” to order off the secret menu. You just have to ask.
Allow me to enlighten you, ordering newbie – just beware, some of these items are so secret that they don’t yet exist at all locations.
Full list of Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu Items
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
- Price: $3.25
- Where is it Available?: All Locations
- How to order: Just say the name
Chick fil A’s Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is not for the faint of heart, and is spot on for those that love an extra kick of spice. Try this only if you are a saucy Cajun or a Cajun honoree, cher.
Order this delicious spicy chicken breast sandwich complete with tangy buffalo sauce and crunchy dill pickles, all lovingly pillowed between a toasted, buttered bun. Might I suggest adding extra dill pickles for an extra sour crunch to perfectly contrast this spicy goodness?
Chicken Quesadilla
- Price: $3.99
- Where is it Available?: Select Locations
- How to order: Ask for the chicken quesadilla
Not everyone can agree on going to the same place for dinner, and sometimes your “other” just wants Mexican food, and you solely survive on Chick fil A. I completely get it.
Have no fear. This is when you argue your case to go to Chick fil A, anyway, to order the super-secret Chicken Quesadilla.
This comes with grilled chicken, melted cheese, sometimes peppers – if you’re lucky, all warmed up in a tortilla. What sounds better than this melty goodness, other than more melty goodness? Extra cheese, anyone?
To make your taste buds happy, try dipping this in a side of ranch sauce.
Free IceDream for the kiddos
- Price: Free
- Where is it Available?: All Locations
- How to order: Ask for the substitution
Sometimes your kids have too many toys, and you just don’t want to bring extra clutter back to your house. Sigh.
No worries. Just have your child trade their toy in for an IceDream – just ask for “the substitution,” and they will know what you are asking.
Now the trick is to convince your child this is what they want. Just ask them, “What better way is there to end a meal than with a simple, sweet dessert? I cannot think of one,” and they’ll be eating out of your palm, er, cone.
I remember when my biggest decision of the day was to choose between a toy and dessert. Oh to be a kid again….
Fried Chicken Club
- Price: $4.49
- Where is it Available?: All Locations
- How to order: Ask for the Fried Chicken Club
This is a not-so-secret, secret menu item, but is definitely worth mentioning again, in case you haven’t tried this yet. I have three words for you: Fried Chicken Club.
This isn’t for the health conscious, but is a good way to splurge as a treat. Although you can make yourself feel better by knowing it’s all fried in trans-fat-free peanut oil, so secretly you are being healthy, right?
Chick fil A’s Fried Chicken Club is a crispy chicken breast layered with lettuce, tomato, Colby-Jack cheese, and bacon, assembled lovingly on a hot buttered bun.
My arteries are clogging a little even just writing this, but that’s okay, because I’ll reverse the madness when I order the next item…
A la carte fruit bowls

- Where is it Available?: All Locations
- How to order: Ask for half lemonade/half tea – specify sweet or unsweet
I’m from the South, so I didn’t know this was a secret, but it’s the best kept secret around. Sweet tea is a staple where I live.
But sometimes, on a hot summer’s day, you just want lemonade… no tea … no…. The dilemma.
Don’t choose between your two loves- just mix them both.
Oh dear, you’re not from the South and sounds like too much sugary sweetness for you? Well bless your little heart.
For you, dear Northerner, I suggest a less sweet, but equally delicious mixture of diet lemonade and unsweet tea to quench your sensitive thirst.

Yes indeed. It’s accessorized with a pop of red – my kind of dessert.

Grilled chicken sub sandwich
- Price: $4.69
- Where is it Available?: Select locations

I’m not certain this is super-secret, but it is on the catering menu, and they might accommodate those they are opposed to buns of sorts.
