1. The Scoop on Gluten-Free at Chick-fil-A:

Let’s talk gluten-free at Chick-fil-A, because they’ve genuinely got your back! These guys take food allergies seriously, which is great for those of us with gluten allergies/sensitivities. Even still, remember to stay vigilant about cross-contamination, and we’ll show you how Chick-fil-A tackles that concern head-on. Safe dining experiences and attention to detail set them apart!

2. Mouthwatering Gluten-Free Options:

Hold on tight, ’cause you have lots of options for gluten-free treasures on Chick-fil-A’s menu. Picture yourself enjoying: Grilled Chicken Nuggets, oh-so-delicious, and crave-worthy! I recommend you pair those grilled nuggets with my all time favorite HOT, golden Waffle Fries (cooked in a dedicated fryer).  Thank you very much Chick-fil-A!  

When I’m craving a sandwich I’ll opt for a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with a gluten free bun (chicken & bun separately packaged).  {More about that multi-functional gluten free bun later.}

When I am feeling the need for some greens it’s usually a toss up between the Grilled Market Salad or the Spicy Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken. If you need breakfast, Chick-fil-A’s hash browns are gluten free (just like their fries) so you can dive into a Hash Brown Scramble Bowl with sausage or grilled nuggets (instead of the fried nuggets) and add that delicious salsa they give ya. Yum alert!  You can also use their multi-functional gluten free bun to customize your own breakfast sandwich! (To try this you’ll need to order in person instead of through the app.)

3. Personalize Your Order, Gluten-Free Style:

Here’s where the fun begins! Chick-fil-A loves to customize, and they’re happy to accommodate your gluten-free needs. Choose the way you want your chicken: grilled nuggets or grilled filet (with or without the gluten free bun), then top top it off with their wide variety of gluten-free sauces (check their website for the list of 13 gluten free sauces/dressings.)  Truly whatever your taste buds desire, Chick-fil-A has you covered. Be sure to save your favorites in the App!  Time to get creative, my friends!

4. Sides and Sips to Savor:

Let’s explore gluten-free sides & desserts that’ll make your taste buds dance. Fresh fruit cups, crisp side salads, and the Kale Crunch Side are all fair game! And guess what? Chick-fil-A does gluten free dessert too!  IceDream is gluten free, so if you are feeling up to some dairy, get some of that delicious soft serve in a cup or treat yourself to a milkshake.  If your palate is craving something fresh and sweet, the fruit cup is a low calorie & gluten free way to enjoy a little sweetness.  Chick-fil-A has got you covered with gluten-free beverage options too, like Coca-Cola Products, Sweet or Unsweetened Iced Tea, Lemonade, Coffee, Juice and of course, good ol’ water, or “soda water” if you want to be fancy like me!

5. Pro Tips for a Fantastic Feast:

Read before you go!  This is ALWAYS my advice when dining anywhere with a gluten allergy.  Chick-fil-A’s website is so easy to navigate and you can find the latest allergen info, give their mobile app a whirl for easy peasy ordering, and, most importantly, don’t hesitate to talk to the awesome Chick-fil-A team—it’s their pleasure to help!
