In our kitchens, we focus on fresh and simple ingredients. And we always have. Since the beginning, we've served chicken that is whole breast meat, with no added fillers or hormones, and we bread it by hand in our restaurants.

Fresh produce is delivered to our kitchens daily. Salads are chopped and prepared fresh throughout the day. Our fresh lemons are combined with pure cane sugar and water (yep, that’s all) to make our amazing Chick-fil-A Lemonade®. It may not be the easy way, but it's the only way we know.

Would love for you to consider partnering with us in giving our guests the remarkable experience they have come to know and love at Chick-fil-A.
