How to order
Order tips
- · Grilled Nuggets or Grilled Sandwich still taste like Chick-fil-A — not a consolation prize.
- · Mustard sauce over Chick-fil-A sauce when you want zip with less sodium.
- · Fruit cup keeps the tray colorful and the sodium calm.
- · Hold pickles if you’re sodium-sensitive — still a great sandwich.
- · Share waffle fries; they’re part of the joy, not a required full side every time.
Avoid / high sodium
Chick-n-Strips with full sauces · Chicken noodle soup · Spicy deluxe with cheese & sauce
