I tried Chick-fil-A's new chicken-and-waffles menu. It's proof that the nostalgia trend isn't going anywhere.
I tried Chick-fil-A's new chicken-and-waffles menu. I tried all five new items, and the best gave chicken and waffles a spicy upgrade.
Chick-fil-A is celebrating its 80th birthday by launching a new menu inspired by nostalgia. The limited-time menu features five items, combining two classic American favorites: chicken and waffles, and s mores. Erin McDowell, from Business Insider, tried all five items to see if the trend lived up to the hype. The classic chicken-and-waffles sandwich stood out, offering a spicy upgrade and a balance of saltiness, sweetness, and savory flavors from the chicken, bacon, honey butter, and syrup.
Chick-fil-A's director of menu and packaging, Allison Duncan, said the menu was designed to bring beloved classic flavors to the menu in a playful and unexpected way. While some found the waffles can get soggy and the overall flavor too sweet, others praised the menu for effectively turning comforting flavors into something novel and social-media-ready.
