Chick-fil-A is changing the breakfast scene, adding its first new morning menu item since 2010.

The fast-food chain is bringing grilled chicken to its morning menu and introducing two new ingredients: egg whites and English muffins.

Add some American cheese, and you've got the new breakfast item dubbed the Egg White Grill. It will be available nationwide on Monday starting at $3.35.

"At Chick-fil-A, we’re constantly looking for innovative and delicious ways to meet the needs of our guests," said David Farmer, vice president of menu strategy and development. "We understand the importance of breakfast and the impact it has throughout the day. We tested the Egg White Grill in select markets across the country, including our busiest restaurants in Manhattan, and our customers gave us great feedback. The Egg White Grill is the perfect solution for our health-conscious customers looking for a grab-and-go breakfast."

The Egg White Grill will replace the spicy chicken biscuit.

Chick-fil-A has been serving breakfast since 1986, when it added a fried chicken sandwich on a biscuit. But while that item has 440 calories and 16 grams of protein, the new egg white sandwich is a lower-calorie option at 300 calories and 25 grams of protein.

This renewed focus on breakfast is a natural next step for the chicken chain after research commissioned by Chick-fil-A found breakfast has grown across the fast-food industry by 60 percent in the last five years.

While egg white sandwiches have become a staple at McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway and more, Chick-fil-A's new sandwich is one of the first to add grilled chicken.

The Egg White Grill will replace the spicy chicken biscuit.

In addition to the biscuit, Chick-fil-A is also dropping their cinnamon cluster and multigrain oatmeal.

Another change from a few months ago:

Chick-fil-A is making big changes to its dipping sauces.

The chain is adding a new sweet-and-spicy Sriracha sauce and changing the recipe for three of its core sauces, barbecue, buttermilk ranch, and buffalo.

"Customers have been saying that they want bolder, spicier flavors," David Farmer, Chick-fil-A's vice president of menu strategy and development, told Business Insider.

Chick-fil-A started experimenting with Sriracha because it's a "trending flavor," Farmer said.

The company describes the sauce as "a sweet and tangy sauce made with chili peppers for a spicy twist."

The barbecue, buttermilk ranch, and buffalo sauces will be replaced with new versions called smokehouse barbecue, garlic herb ranch, and zesty buffalo.

Chick-fil-A has been testing the sauces in select cities in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. The company will be rolling them out nationwide in the second half of the year.

They're getting rid of literally the best thing on the menu.

GG CFA.

 

[mackattk]

Saw that this morning. If it is anything like the newer grilled chicken from CFA I will pass. I liked the taste of their old flavor much better.

Anyway, the chicken egg and cheese bagel will still reign king.

 

[Frozenprince]

NO MORE SPICY CHICKEN BISCUIT?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[PhoncipleBone]

At first glance I thought they were getting rid of spicy chicken sandwich. Thank god they aren't.

 

[Guevara]

Well I guess this answers the question of which came first

 

[whatsinaname]

WTF?

 

[Zoe]

Sonuvabitch.

 

[rokkerkory]

Gimmeeeeere

 

[hughesta]

At first glance I thought they were getting rid of spicy chicken sandwich. Thank god they aren't.

Same, tears started welling up tbh fam

 

[Dead Prince]

next they'll replace the spicy chicken sandwich.

 

[BrokenFiction]

First Cole Slaw and now this?!

BLINK TWICE IF YOU ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE, CFA!

 

[Slayven]

What the fuck is this shit?

 

[whatsinaname]

There's a reason I wake up at 6:00 AM on a Saturday and drive 40 mins to Ohio. An Egg White Grill is not going to be it.

 

[M-PG71C]

Fuck this shit, how dare they take away my spicy chicken biscuit. Not eating there for breakfast ever again. That was my one and only item.

They take away the spicy chicken sandwich next and I'll never eat there again, period. :/

 

[greepoman]

Thanks Obama.... guess trump was right.

Went by and got one of the last spicy chicken biscuits they had this morning.

 

[Frozenprince]

What the fuck is this shit?

Evil has won that's what this shit is.

Just let Trump walk in the white house now we already lost.

 

[TraBuch]

What the fucking shit.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I wonder if I have them take off the cheese if I can get the yolk back.

 

[mreddie]

WHY? IT WAS GOOD! WHY REPLACE IT WITH THIS MCDONALDS WANNABE?

No seriously, why? Isn't spicy chicken items CFA big draws? Spicy Chicken Sandwich has been put on alert.

 

[DragonSworne]

I'm boycotting Chick-Fil-A now

That was the only thing I got there.

 

[echoshifting]

Freedom is dead

Only darkness now

 

[BlackGhost]

There's a reason I wake up at 6:00 AM on a Saturday and drive 40 mins to Ohio. An Egg White Grill is not going to be it.

Damn I hope you get like 10 biscuits

 

[Frozenprince]

Yo if they take the Spicy Chicken Sandwich away I saw we just burn the mother down.

 

[RecRoulette]

My exact reaction.

 

[XenoRaven]

The problem with the spicy chicken sandwich is that the bun is straight garbo.

Putting spicy chicken on a delicious buttermilk biscuit is basically fast food heaven.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Biscuits>>English muffins

 

[kris.]

Biscuits>>English muffins

TRUTH.

this is a dumb move by CFA.

 

[Secret Character]

As many said before me, this was literally the best thing on the menu.

 

[Katori]

What the actual fuck?

This looks disgusting, and the Spicy Chicken is the GOAT.

I mean at least put the whole egg on there and do fried chicken. I know people think this is somehow healthier but it's not, at all. Well maybe the lack of breading on the chicken is healthier but you're not making up for anything with that disgusting bready muffin, at least a biscuit is full of good fat.

Genuinely upset.

 

[Frozenprince]

So, can I just order a spicy chicken fillet with nothing but cheese and a biscuit with nothing on it and just make my own?

Asking for a friend.

 

[platocplx]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!

I Just had a free one of those biscuits and it was fucking heaven. I have no idea why they dont have that on the dinner menu instead. Son of a bitch. im going to have to get one tomorrow before they are gone.

 

[Luschient]

As long as the chicken minis are still there I'm good.

 

[Bread]

that's literally my favorite fast food item in the world. what the fuck.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

First they get rid of the spicy dressing and now this.

What is wrong with people?

 

[whatsinaname]

Damn I hope you get like 10 biscuits

I can neither confirm nor deny that number.

I get some of those breakfast minis too...

 

[Stinkles]

Well I guess this answers the question of which came first

underrated

 

[platocplx]

I can neither confirm nor deny that number.

I get some of those breakfast minis too...

The Minis >>> idk what kind of bread they use but holy shit its good.

 

[Sullichin]

Can't wait to hit up the Chick Fila with the C sanitation rating on my way to work!

 

[double jump]

Why would you remove the best thing on the menu?

 

[Iksenpets]

I saw this thread title and was terrified that maybe I was the only person who liked the spicy biscuit. I'm glad to see I have support here on GAF.

 

[exmachina64]

Spoiler

I hate spicy chicken.

 

[dallow_bg]

The hell? That's the best breakfast item.
Just add it to the menu.

 

[Gutek]

Thanks Trump.

 

[alpinestars1980]

I found this out this morning as I pulled up to CFA to get my regular #4. They asked what I wanted and with mouth agape I asked, "Is there no spicy chicken biscuit anymore?"

They said, "Well, we can still sell it until they are gone."

I jumped in on this new sandwich thinking I'd have to get used to it. It sucks. Total doodoo butter.

I'm not sure which focus group is responsible for this but I want them found and tortured.

 

[voodoojohn]

I think I remember not being a fan of the spicy chicken on biscuit. Which is saying something, since I only ever order the spicy chicken sandwich for lunch/dinner.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

They killed the Spicy Chicken Biscuit...

What in the hell is wrong with them?

 

[Hellwarden]

No more spicy chicken biscuit?

....


People we need to take to the streets.

This affront to human decency cannot stand!

 

[Niraj]

I don't even live close enough to one to make getting breakfast feasible and this still angers me. They better not get rid of the spicy chicken sandwich too.
