Chick-Fil-A Favorites

At Chick-fil-A, nothing quite beats their nuggets. I'm not sure what they put in those things, but they are spectacular. Pair that with their famous Chick-fil-A sauce, and you're cooking!

The good news is they have a little something for everyone. For breakfast, it's the Chick-n-Minis and Chicken Biscuit, and the classic Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, or Nuggets for lunch or dinner. Pair your meal with Waffle Fries and Mac & Cheese. They also have healthy options with salads and grilled chicken options.

Why Chick-Fil-A Closes on Sundays

Have you ever wondered WHY Chick-fil-A really started closing on Sundays? The tradition dates back to 1946 when founder Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant. Cathy believed it was important for employees to have one day each week to rest, spend time with family, and attend worship services if they chose. That policy has remained in place for nearly 80 years and continues to set Chick-fil-A apart from most other fast-food chains.
