The Secret Chick-fil-A Menu Hack You’ll Wish You Knew Sooner

This idea appeared in a TikTok video by a Chick-fil-A employee, which immediately went viral. Chick-fil-A offers one of the best fast-food chicken sandwiches money can buy. To make it even better, hack the menu for a hot honey chicken sandwich.
Just order the classic sandwich in a strategic way, stock up on some of the chain’s free sauces and use the take-out bag to your advantage. Here’s what to order next time you’re at Chick-fil-A!
How to Build a Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich
Start by ordering the chicken sandwich, but ask for the bread to be extra toasted. This helps add structure to the bun so it will hold up to the thick, sticky sauce we’ll add.
Next, request one packet of Texas Pete hot sauce and two honey packets. This ratio is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, but if you want hot honey that’s even hotter, double up on the hot sauce as well.
The fun begins when your sandwich arrives. Take it out of the bag and remove the crispy chicken patty. Then, put the patty back into the sturdy insulated bag it came in. Drizzle the chicken with the hot sauce and the honey and roll the top of the bag to seal it up tight. Give the bag a good shake. You want the hot sauce and honey to combine and coat every nook and cranny of that crispy chicken.
Take the chicken out of the bag and re-assemble the sandwich with the buns and pickle slices. Your hands might get a little messy in the process, but that’s OK. You’ll want to lick that delicious sauce right off of them!
While you’re at it, add an order of the legendary Chick-fil-A waffle fries and a Key lime lemonade to your order. The drink should help cool some of the heat of the sandwich.
