Chick-Fil-A meal kits beginning with five meal options became available Monday, August 27 in metro Atlanta as part of a test market experiment, the chain said. The meals will be available through mid-November.
The meal kits have been designed to make it easy for customers to cook their own meals at home using fresh, pre-measured ingredients they can pick up in the drive-thru, at the front counter, or via the Chick-fil-A One app.
Chick-Fil-A meal kits: What to know
Chick-fil-A Chef and Atlanta Restaurateur Stuart Tracy had a big hand in developing five different kit recipes, which are easy to follow and prepare.
With the move, the Atlanta-based company is signaling its intentions to be the first fast-food restaurant to take on Blue Apron, which is a household name in the meal kit market.
The meals include many of the favorites we’ve come to love about Chick-Fil-A, including crispy dijon chicken, but also new items such as chicken flatfread, chicken enchiladas and pan-roasted chicken.
New menu options include:
- 30-Count Nuggets – The 30-Count Nuggets are available nationwide and can be ordered at the counter, through the drive-thru and via the Chick-fil-A Mobile App.
- Waffle Potato Chips – Previously only available on the catering menu, the kettle-cooked waffle cut chips are an alternate to our Waffle Fries and are gluten-free. Waffle Potato Chips can now be purchased as a side item to pair with any entrée (or Kid’s Meal) and are still available as side offering on the catering menu.
- Improved Fruit Cup – Based on customer feedback, the fruit mix has been improved to feature fewer apples and more premium fruit options. The Fruit Cup is served chilled with fresh strawberries, blueberries, red and green apple pieces and mandarin oranges.
New catering and online order menu options include:
- Grilled Chicken Bundle – This lighter, grilled chicken option makes it easy to build you own grilled chicken sandwiches. The bundle comes with 10 grilled chicken breasts, multigrain buns, Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce, Green Leaf lettuce, tomatoes, Colby-Jack cheese and Applewood smoked bacon and serves 10.
- Spicy Chilled Grilled Chicken Sub Sandwich – The Spicy Chilled Grilled Chicken Sub Sandwich provides a fresh and unique option for people who love grilled chicken but want an extra spicy kick. The boneless spicy chicken breast is marinated with a special blend of seasonings, grilled, thinly sliced and served chilled on a multigrain baguette with Pepper Jack cheese, baby greens and sliced tomato. It is served with Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce.

The meal kits cost about $16 and serve two people, the company says. They are available at more than 150 metro Atlanta locations.
Many experts are confused by the decision to get into the meal kit business by Chick-Fil-A, but they know one thing: Whatever the company tries to do, it usually is successful.
Mealtime Kits will be available to customers in Atlanta until November 17, but customers nationwide can express their interest in trying the kits by filling out an online form.
