Note: Chowhound reported 620 calories (entrée) and 470 (breakfast) for the version it reviewed, while Chick-fil-A's nutrition page lists 690 and 530 for the Original filet. The difference may come from whether the syrup is counted, or from recipe updates. We show Chick-fil-A's official figures.
How it compares
| Chicken & Waffles (Original) | Chicken Sandwich | Spicy Deluxe | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 690 | 420 | 540 |
| Sugar | 29 g | 6 g | 7 g |
| Sodium | 1,600 mg | 1,470 mg | 1,890 mg |
| Protein | 32 g | 29 g | 34 g |
It has nearly five times the sugar of the original Chicken Sandwich, mostly from the waffle buns and honey butter — before you dip into the syrup.
What reviewers say
Chowhound's reviewer found the sweetness overpowering, with the waffles, honey butter and syrup overwhelming the chicken and bacon; she ended up removing one waffle and eating it open-faced. She preferred the entrée version, finding its chicken crispier and juicier than the breakfast size. Her suggestion: try it with the Spicy filet to balance the sweetness.
Tips for ordering
- Go Spicy to cut through the sweetness.
- Skip or go light on the syrup if you're watching sugar.
- Choose the Grilled filet for the lightest version (540 calories entrée, 440 breakfast).
- Order soon — limited-time items disappear without much notice.
