Complementing its new entrée salads, Chick-fil-A also will debut an enhanced Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap®. Starting at $4.89, the wrap is filled with grilled chicken, green leaf lettuce, shredded red cabbage, carrots and a blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
Basically, Chick-fil-A's Chick-n-Strips taste the same as the chicken patty in their sandwiches and their Chicken Nuggets. It's really the same chicken in a slightly different form. This means they are nicely seasoned, but not too salty. The strip pieces were juicy as well as plump.

A Cheaper Chicken Sandwich
Save some cash by instead ordering four chicken strips, two buttered buns, and of course, you gotta throw the waffle fries in there too. Layer the chicken strips onto the buns with your favorite sauce (I'm biased for Chick-fil-A sauce) to create a classic chicken sandwich at a lower cost.Chick-fil-A's name is meant to represent quality. MANDEL NGAN/Getty Images. Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy came up with the name for the chain when looking for what to call the chicken sandwich he had spent years perfecting.
Supply prices go up they raise prices. Fuel prices for transportation of goods, corn prices that feed the chickens they serve, processing prices, any costs of raising the chickens go up, etc. The raise in minimum wage. Anything that costs the company more money is going to get passed on to customers via prices.
Chick-Fil-A was founded by S. Truett Cathy, who was a devout Southern Baptists, as are members of his family who have run the company since Mr. Cathy's death. Chick-fil-A is owned by devout Christians, not Mormons, and their managers and employees overwhelmingly seem to be Christian, and endlessly polite.
