Chick-fil-A Just Launched a Chicken and Waffles Sandwich — Plus Two S’mores Drinks

Healthy Fact of the Day

Sandwiches that combine fried protein, syrup, and butter-based spreads can add up quickly in calories and added sugar, especially when paired with a milkshake-style drink. If you're ordering something like a chicken and waffles sandwich, consider going light on the syrup, choosing the grilled filet option instead of fried, or splitting a dessert drink with someone else at the table. Pairing a heavier meal with water instead of a second sugary beverage is also an easy way to keep things balanced.

Breakfast and dessert don’t usually share a menu item, but Chick-fil-A just found a way to make that work.

The chain has rolled out a new Chicken and Waffles Sandwich alongside a pair of s’mores-inspired frozen drinks, giving fall 2026 a lineup that leans into both comfort food and campfire nostalgia.

The Sandwich Everyone’s Talking About

The new Chicken and Waffles Sandwich layers a crispy fried chicken filet, three pieces of applewood-smoked bacon, and a honey butter spread between two warm, maple-flavored waffles, with a side of syrup included for dipping. It’s offered in two sizes: a smaller breakfast version available during morning hours, and a larger entrée size available from 10:30 a.m. until close. For anyone who wants to switch things up, the chicken filet can also be swapped for a grilled or spicy option.

The Drinks Bringing Campfire Flavor to the Menu

Rounding out the fall lineup are two s’mores-inspired frozen beverages. The S’mores Milkshake blends Icedream frozen dessert with toasted marshmallow syrup and chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles, finished with a toasted marshmallow whipped topping and a cherry on top.

The S’mores Frosted Coffee takes a similar flavor profile in a caffeinated direction, mixing cold-brewed coffee with marshmallow-flavored syrup, Icedream, and the same chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles.

Where and When to Get It

All three items are available now for a limited time at Chick-fil-A locations nationwide, so there’s no need to wait to give the new lineup a try.

The Takeaway

Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast-meets-dinner sandwich or a dessert-style drink that tastes like a campfire treat, Chick-fil-A’s latest additions offer something a little different from the usual fall pumpkin spice route.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Crispy Garlic Parmeson Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of meat, comparable to skinless chicken breast in fat content—use part-skim Parmesan and reduce olive oil slightly for an even lighter version without sacrificing that gorgeous golden crust.

The Whole Fish: Why Cooking It on the Bone Changes Everything

Fish cooked on the bone retains slightly higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids than fish that has been filleted and stored before cooking — because the fat in the flesh adjacent to the bone is protected from oxidation by the bone itself during the period between filleting and cooking. Whole fish also provides the specific opportunity to consume the collar and the cheek — the two portions most consistently identified by fish-eating cultures worldwide as the most flavorful and most fatty, and therefore the most omega-3-rich, parts of the fish.
