The Chicken and Waffles Sandwich is a seasonal sandwich that puts a boneless chicken filet, bacon and honey butter between two maple-flavored waffles, with syrup on the side. Chick-fil-A chicken and waffles comes in three versions, original, spicy and grilled, and in a breakfast size and a regular size. This guide covers what is in it, how the versions compare, the add-ons and how long you can get it. For the rest of the lineup, see the complete Chick-fil-A menu.
What Is in the Chicken and Waffles Sandwich?
It is a maple-flavored waffle wrapped around a boneless breast of chicken, three strips of applewood smoked bacon and a honey butter spread, served warm with a side of syrup. It is a seasonal, limited-time item, so it is on the menu only when the chain brings it back. Find it under all Chick-fil-A sandwiches when it is available.
The waffle replaces the bun. That makes the sandwich sweeter than any other chicken sandwich on the menu, since the maple flavor and the honey butter both lean sweet. The chicken and the bacon bring the salt.

Chick-fil-A Chicken Waffles: Original, Spicy and Grilled Filet Versions
You pick the chicken. The original uses the classic breaded, pressure-cooked filet, the spicy version uses the pepper-seasoned breaded filet, and the grilled version uses the lemon-herb grilled breast. The waffle, bacon, honey butter and syrup stay the same.

The grilled version is the lightest by about 150 calories. It has no breading and less fat, though the waffle and syrup keep it from being a diet pick.
Chick-fil-A Breakfast Sandwiches: Breakfast Size vs Lunch and Dinner Size
There are two sizes. The breakfast version uses a smaller breakfast portion of chicken and is served until the breakfast menu ends at 10:30 a.m. The regular version is the full-size filet and is available from 10:30 a.m. until close.
The size changes the numbers. The official breakfast sandwich with the original filet lists 530 calories and 22 g protein, while the regular one lists 690 calories and 32 g protein. Some reviews list lower figures, such as 470 and 620, so calorie numbers differ by source. The official figures appear to count the 60-calorie side of syrup, which may explain part of the gap.
Breakfast meals also exist. Delivery apps list the breakfast meals from about $12.69+ to $13.05+, which is well below the regular meals. For hours and other morning picks, see the Chick-fil-A breakfast menu and hours.
Add-Ons and Swaps: Egg, Cheese and Sausage
You can customize it like other breakfast and chicken sandwiches. The official pages mention cheeses, sauces and vegetables as add-ons. A test by Tasting Table reported that an egg or egg whites, cheese and a sausage swap for the bacon are all possible at many restaurants.
Calories rise with each change. On the breakfast-size original, that test reported about 60 more calories with an egg, 50 to 80 more with cheese, and a jump to 720 calories when sausage replaces bacon. Pricing and availability vary by location, so use the app to see what your restaurant lists.
Skipping the syrup removes 60 calories.
Chick-fil-A Spicy Filet vs Original Chick-fil-A Filet: Calories, Protein and Allergens
The official pages list 540 calories and 29 g protein for the grilled version, 690 calories and 32 g protein for the regular original, and 710 calories, 31 g protein, 35 g fat and 70 g carbs for the spicy version.
The allergens include wheat, soy, milk and egg. The fried versions use filets cooked in refined peanut oil, so they carry a peanut warning, while the grilled version does not use that oil. Nutrition and allergen details may not reflect customizations. See the full nutrition and calorie guide for other items.
