While Chick-fil-A is famous for its crispy chicken sandwich, the brand offers far more than poultry. From the creamy Frosted Lemonade made with its signature Icedream dessert, to beloved waffle fries and exclusive signature sauces, the menu has plenty of hidden gems.
For years, customers have experimented with menu hacks—like TikTok’s viral frosted sodas and custom bowls—to create unique off-menu treats. But one underrated side item that has been quietly available is the Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Chips.
The Return and Reinvention of Waffle Potato Chips
Although these waffle potato chips have been part of Chick-fil-A’s catering menu for years, they could also be ordered individually as a side. Now, after years of keeping them in the background, Chick-fil-A has decided it’s time for a major relaunch.
Starting August 18, coinciding with the debut of the new fall menu, Chick-fil-A will reintroduce its Original Flavor Waffle Potato Chips with a fresh twist—and also debut an all-new flavored variety.
What’s New in the Original Flavor
The Original Flavor Waffle Potato Chips have undergone a complete makeover. These chips are now thicker-cut for extra crunch and sprinkled with sea salt for added taste. Unlike the previous lattice-cut version, the updated chips feature a classic wavy design similar to what you’d find in grocery stores.
First-Ever Chick-fil-A Sauce Flavored Chips
For the first time ever, Chick-fil-A is releasing a flavored potato chip—the Chick-fil-A Sauce Flavored Waffle Potato Chips. These chips are infused with the bold, tangy, and smoky taste of the brand’s fan-favorite sauce, adding a flavor profile that’s slightly barbecue-inspired and irresistible for sauce lovers.
Where to Get Them
The new 1.5-ounce bags will be available nationwide at all Chick-fil-A restaurants starting August 18, either as a side or à la carte. Both flavors—Original and Chick-fil-A Sauce—will become permanent menu items.
Later this fall, both flavors will also be sold in 7-ounce bags at select Publix, Kroger, and Walmart locations across the Atlantic and Southeast regions. This move aligns with Chick-fil-A’s growing grocery line, which already includes its bottled sauces and dressings.
My Taste Test Review
I’ll admit, I didn’t even realize Chick-fil-A offered potato chips before this launch. Normally, I stick to waffle fries. But after trying the updated chips, I might be rethinking my usual side order.
The Original Flavor chips are perfectly ruffled, crunchy, and lightly salted, delivering a satisfying texture. The real standout, however, is the Chick-fil-A Sauce-flavored chips.
They capture the smoky, tangy, slightly sweet barbecue-like taste of the sauce, paired with the crunch of a quality potato chip. Honestly, they might be the best chips I’ve ever eaten.
When these hit grocery store shelves, I can see them becoming a permanent pantry staple.
Chick-fil-A’s revamped Waffle Potato Chips and new Chick-fil-A Sauce flavor prove the chain is more than just about chicken.
By improving texture, adding a unique flavor, and expanding into grocery stores, the brand is turning a once-overlooked side into a must-try snack. If you love Chick-fil-A’s sauce, these chips will be your next obsession.
