What the Deluxe upgrade adds
| Original → Deluxe | Spicy → Spicy Deluxe | |
|---|---|---|
| Extra calories | +70 | +90 |
| Extra protein | +3 g | +6 g |
| Extra sodium | +240 mg | +150 mg |
| Extra cost (our sample) | about $0.80–$1.00 | about $0.80–$1.00 |
You get cheese, crunch and freshness — plus a few grams of protein — for under a dollar. Most people think it's worth it. If you're watching sodium, it's not the toppings that are the problem: the filet itself carries most of it.
Spicy Deluxe: the fan favorite
The Spicy Deluxe pairs the peppery filet with melty Pepper Jack, and the lettuce and tomato take the edge off the heat. It often ranks at or near the top in published Chick-fil-A sandwich taste tests. The tradeoff is sodium: at 1,890 mg, it's the saltiest regular sandwich and about 82% of a day's guideline.
Customization ideas
- Swap the cheese — American, Pepper Jack or Colby Jack.
- Go grilled — order a "grilled deluxe" and you've basically got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with cheese.
- Add bacon at many restaurants for an extra charge.
- Sauce on the side — Garden Herb Ranch or Chick-fil-A Sauce are the common picks.
- No cheese to save about 50 calories.
