Research Methodology
To ensure an accurate and comparable analysis without extraneous service charges or delivery fees, no third-party data was used.
Research was completed in-house by the Nutrition & Ingredients staff. No reports from third-party publishers was used.
No data from marketplaces such as Uber Eats or Door Dash was used. Moreover, our editorial policy prohibits the use of AI for pricing or nutritional information reports.
Price data was sourced directly from Chick-fil-A. One Chick-fil-A restaurant in each U.S. state was selected at random. Two states were excluded because the fast food chain does not currently operate a restaurant in Alaska or Vermont.
Furthermore, to ensure we present comparable prices without fluctuation due to seasonal changes, supply chain issues, holidays, or other events, we check prices across all U.S. states on the same day. Prices were fact checked and confirmed the following day.
Prices vary within a region and state. The menu prices at your local restaurant may not be the same as prices at the location selected for this report, even if the two restaurants are in the same state.
In addition, restaurants change prices, menu offerings, and standard product formulations without notice. Visit the Chick-fil-A website for the most up-to-date information.
