If you love Chick-fil-A, you are in for a treat! Now you can make some of their most iconic offerings at home.
I have gathered 8 recipes that taste just like the real thing.
1. Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries
I spent years obsessing over this recipe, which is something I hate to admit. Nothing else quite lives up to Chick-fil-A’s waffle fries. No matter what I tried, they were either too thick, too soggy, or something else entirely.
After finally giving up on trying to recreate them, I found this simple, three-ingredient recipe that I could not believe. Using a mandolin slicer and leaving the skin on the potato is really the trick.
2. Copycat Chick-fil-A Sauce
I am aware of folks who are not even fond of Chick-fil-A who happen to adore their sauce. How delicious is that, truthfully?
Ironically, even though it’s a very coveted item, it is unbelievably easy to prepare.
Everybody can put this sauce together, so let me tell you how. Just blend a quarter cup of mayonnaise with a tablespoon of honey and barbecue sauce and a teaspoon of mustard. Truly the easiest thing ever.
3. Chick-fil-A Coleslaw
Anyone can whip up basic coleslaw, but why settle for that when you can have the Chick-fil-A copycat version? While the ingredients are similar, you’ll only need five minutes for this recipe, and it offers a wonderful blend of sweetness, tang, and silky richness that is really impressive.
Just prepare ahead, as it should sit in the fridge for a minimum of a couple hours before serving.
4. Chick-fil-A Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Don’t worry for even a second, because I was not going to compile a Chick-fil-A recipe compilation without including at least one version of their amazing chicken sandwich.
To nail the taste, you will really want to devote the majority of your efforts to the flour and seasoning it just right. Sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, thyme, dill weed, sage, basil, rosemary, and even more are needed for the flour alone. I am not kidding.
Once you get the flour mix perfect, everything is easy after that. This one is essential if you love a good chicken sandwich.
5. Chick-fil-A Carrot Raisin Salad
This carrot raisin salad copycat tastes terrific. It is also ridiculously easy to make, which I appreciate!
In just ten minutes, you can throw together the seven ingredients you need: carrots, pineapple chunks, raisins, sugar or honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt.
It has a delicious, bold taste with some tropical sweetness from the pineapple chunks and raisins. Plus, its creamy consistency is a huge hit even with picky eaters.
6. Chick-fil-A Market Salad
If a delightful mix of sweet and savory flavors is what you crave, I recommend this copycat market salad that is both light and satisfying. It features your favorite sweet and savory tastes, such as apples, spices, chicken, peppers, and strawberries.
You’ll also find walnuts and bleu cheese for extra flavor. And you cannot afford to skip the zesty apple cider vinaigrette, because it gives the market salad a tang that you’ll really appreciate.
7. Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets
It’s difficult to genuinely match the amazing taste that is Chick-fil-A’s chicken nuggets, it’s true. With this recipe, you can come pretty darned close, or that’s what I’m told.
The secret ingredient in this recipe might surprise you. But I promise, without that quarter cup of pickle juice, you will simply not get as near to the delicious taste of the real thing.
The remaining ingredients are fairly typical: chicken breasts, buttermilk, flour, egg, cornstarch, sugar, pepper, salt, and oil. In general, this recipe should be achievable if you’re able to slice the chicken into little portions and deep fry them. Please do not skip the pickle juice; trust me when I say it makes all the difference.
