It is the 3 year anniversary of the addition of Chick-Fil-A Mac and Cheese to their menu. We were very excited about it at the time. In fact, this is a direct quote from us about the Chick fil A Mac n cheese: All I can say is WOW. I am so excited for what is about to happen… Chick-Fil-A Is Bringing Mac and Cheese To Their Menu and I feel like my life is now complete. {Giggle}
First off, can I just say that it is about time someone brings mac and cheese to their drive-thru? This has been one of the greatest things about this historic event. Take note other fast food chains!
I have a kid that doesn’t love most fast food, but mac n cheese is a favorite.
The other good thing about Chick-fil-A’s mac n cheese is that it comes in two sizes. One is a side dish helping and one is pretty large…big enough for a full meal even for an adult.
Chick-Fil-A has been delivering this amazing cheesiness to us, nice and hot and straight to our cars since Monday, August 12th, 2019.
In celebration of the big anniversary {giggle}, you can pick up Mac and Cheese at their drive-thru too!
Originally the Chick-fil-A mac n cheese was only available in selected areas like: Baltimore, Greensboro, Houston, San Antonio, Nashville, and Phoenix, but the delicious side dish mac n cheese is available nationwide.
I know, because we regularly order it and I don’t live in any of those cities.
Don’t miss our recent article outlining the Chick-fil-A secret menu that is not so secret. When it comes to mac & cheese, there is one of my favorite ideas…
Chick-fil-A Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese
Hack Chick fil A’s mac and cheese by ordering an order of nuggets or grilled nuggets, mac n cheese, zesty buffalo sauce and garden herb ranch sauce and ask for a full flatware set because you will need a knife.
Chop your chicken nuggets into small pieces and mix them into the mac n cheese. Drizzle both sauces over the combination for a savory and spicy meal. You can vary the sauce amount to suit your taste.
