Chick-fil-A will no longer discontinue this item after fierce internet backlash

Social media saved the day!

- Just so shiny, it's glowing. Ah! Hello, my name is Kevin Joseph. We are here today at Chick-fil-A. I get $100, I go into a restaurant, and get to order anything that I can. I don't wanna let it go, but I have to, for this show. Let's see what we can get for this. (upbeat music) Yay! (laughs) Can I get bacon? Chicken egg biscuit, the hash browns, an egg cheese biscuit, Chick-fil-A sandwich, the hot butter biscuit. Ooh, I heard your waffle fries are amazing. - And your total will be $101.93. - Here you go. - [Cash Wrap Employee] Thank you, sir. - Let's go eat this chicken. It smells good. Smells good. We have sauces on sauces on sauces. We have sweet and spicy sriracha, Polynesian, Chick-fil-A, barbecue, garden herb ranch, zesty buffalo, and honey mustard. Today we're gonna find out which one is my favorite. Never had Chick-fil-A before so this is a first a first time for me. - What! - Let's see how it goes. (bright music) We're gonna start with this chicken biscuit. The biscuit is very soft. The chicken is not too crispy, it has a lot of flavor in it. It's pretty good. We're gonna try the chicken, egg, and cheese bagel. Very juicy, the bagel's soft. This is a very good alternative to bacon, egg, and cheese. Now we're gonna try the hash browns. Very tiny, very cute. Double fist. Tastes like hash browns. Tastes how it's supposed to taste. So this is the Chick-fil-A sauce. Chick-fil-A sauce on hash browns, get that. It's a little tangy. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise. This is a good balance. Now we're gonna try the four-count mini which is basically just chicken wrapped around in bread and it's tiny. Amazing bread, the chicken is cooked perfectly. I'm in love with it! This is such a dynamic duo. Can you name anything better the biscuit and chicken? No! So I'm told that they're freshly made every morning as if your grandma was in the back cooking it herself. So about to taste it and see. Mm! The butter hits you, the chicken hits you. Just a marriage in your mouth, you know? I'm lovin' it. - [Tim Allen] Uh? - Round one is complete. Out of all these things, I would have to say my favorite thing is the chicken biscuit. (champion bell ringing) I would definitely come back and buy this again. Come and get a chicken biscuit. It's where it's at. (upbeat gospel music) I know their name is Chick-fil-A but we have two wonderful salads here. They have the market salad and the spicy southwest salad. And all these other options that the salad comes with. So many toppings, and a lemonade. Thank you. Let's eat some salad! You gotta be healthy people okay? You gotta get your greens in. Before I start, fun fact. All their produce is shipped here freshly every single day. So this is not pre-packaged. Let's dig in. Ooh, some corn in here. If a burrito was a salad, this would be it. This is really good. This is a salad but it wouldn't be Chick-fil-A without chicken. No worries, you're still getting your protein in. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna take a drink of this lemonade. This some good lemonade. This is hand-squeezed okay? People, real hands, real people, Chick-fil-A. Has apples, strawberries, blueberries, this has one has fruits so that should be fun. Here we go. And the apple cider vinaigrette is pretty good, too. I'm digging that. This is the perfect thing to eat in the winter 'cause you get to work on your summer body. You know what I'm saying? Make sure you're not getting all them carbs, those calories. If I have to choose between these two, (fingers drumming) I'm gonna go with the spicy southwest! Because it tastes like a burrito and it's healthy. So a healthy burrito salad. Round three, let's go. (hip hop music) I'm gonna start off with the grilled chicken nuggets. (bright music) Very juicy, it's not dry, it's not hard. It's fresh, grilled chicken. That's why I like it. Now this is the perfect opportunity to try these seven different sauces. Someone told me the buffalo sauce is where it's at. So that's what I'm gonna try first. Buffalo! I'm gonna get that. Nice little spice to it, not too hot. I'm digging that, very refreshing. Chicken nuggets, let's try these out. It's good! No more I can really say, it's just good. Another sauce, here we go, the honey mustard. Nice and bright yellow. Let's taste this. Ooh, the honey has a sweetness to it. The mustard gives it that little zing. Nice combination but if you got honey mustard you already know that. Next up, chicken strips. Let's eat it. Nice, soft and juicy. The only difference really is just the size. If you want something smaller, you would go with the chicken nuggets. If you want a little bit more, chicken strips. I'm kind of surprised by the grilled chicken. That was actually really, really good. I know a lot of people don't come to Chick-fil-A for their grilled chicken but something you should try. (grunting) (upbeat gospel music) It's the one, it's the only. The infamous chicken sandwich, ah! I'm speechless. It's beautiful, the bun is soft. Can lay your head on it. (piano lullaby music) Just look at the roundness of that top bun. It's just so perfectly round. With some oil, it's just so shiny, it's glowing. Ah! (heavenly music) It's beautiful, this is what you see in the commercials. Let's do this, stop wasting time. Ooh, okay. This is amazing, very juicy, a lot of flavor. When you bite in it's like, mm, mm, in your mouth, mm! Super fresh, not too crispy. Let's try the Chic-fil-A sauce. I'm gonna be classy since I work at Delish with a bunch of chefs, I could be a chef. All those teachers that say, "Kevin, "You need to think about getting a real job," no. This is my job and it's real. It's happening right now. So all those kids watching, this could be you one day. Eating Chick-fil-A. So everyone that I've talked to who loves Chick-fil-A they say the thing that makes this better than Popeye's chicken sandwich is the sauce. This is what separates the two. So here we go. (cinematic music) This Chick-fil-A sauce enhances the sandwich. It brings it to a whole new level. Mm, mm, mm, wow. Look at that. The reason why this is deluxe is because it has pepperjack cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. See the ruffles in that? Woo! Sexy, let's do this. Ooh, when you bite into it, it's like the buns is making out with you. 'Cause they're just so soft like you're making out with a sandwich. I think the reason why I like this one the most is because the lettuce (champion bell dinging) and tomatoes, it kind of adds on another flavor to it. You're getting a lot more for your buck. Julia and Tess, I respect you, immensely. I'm like a novice in the game, this is a lot of food man. I eat a lot of (beep) man. Round four. (energetic music) This round is dedicated to all the sides out there. I bet you didn't know Chick-fil-A offers soup. 'Cause every time you come here you order the same thing. All right? This is why you're watching this show. So you can step out of your ways. Are you tired of eating the same thing? Well (laughs), I got an option right here for you today. Chicken tortilla soup. I know a lotta you about to get sick so if you're in need of some soup, here you go. So you're gonna get in here. Nice and kinda thick. With the chips it has that little crunch to it. Fun fact, this is seasonal. Looks super gooey which is a requirement for mac and cheese. So here we go. Warm, gooey, cheesy. Southern comfort in New York City. This is amazing, it feels like a warm hug from your grandma. I don't know who invented waffle fries but the man is a genius, just look at it. How do you make waffle fries? They got these holes, they're so perfect. Here we go. This is perfect, perfect texture. If I had to choose between regular fries and waffle fries, I'm goin' waffle. Out of these three things, I think my favorite is definitely the soup. If you don't want anything (champion bell dings) like too heavy or you're watching your weight, this is a perfect balance. This is amazing. (slurping) Listen, I know you guys love me but it's almost time to end this, so we're goin' to round five. Desserts, let's get it. We got frosted lemonade, let's try it. Kinda tastes like key lime pie. but as a milkshake. It's like someone just took a tub of ice cream, threw it in a blender, mixed it up, Very fresh with the whipped cream and a cherry on top. That's service, people,that is service. It's like they have this little small oven in the back that they grandma just came through. Shout-out to my cameraman. Here you go, take five. You deserve a cookie. Let's cheers this out. Uh! This is very soft. A lot of chocolate but it's gooey. If I have to choose my favorite out of these three, I'm gonna have to go with the classic, (champion bell dings) chocolate chunk cookie. You can't go wrong with chocolate chips. Look at these. Ooh, I am so full. That was breakfast, lunch, and dinner all in one sitting. Best $100 I ever spent. The chicken sandwiches are really juicy. I think if I was to come back here, that's probably what I would get. Take it back to the studio so I can feed the Delish family. None of this is goin' to waste. Like, comment, subscribe. See you next time. Peace, be good, thank you for watching. (upbeat music)

However, based on feedback, we’ve chosen to continue serving the Side Salad at participating restaurant locations.
