A boneless breast of chicken seasoned to perfection, freshly breaded, pressure cooked in 100% refined peanut oil and served on a toasted, buttered bun with dill pickle chips.

This claim is unsubstantiated, although the Chick-fil-A southern-style chicken sandwich (served with pickles on a steamed roll), introduced on March 21, 1964, was most likely the first chicken sandwich introduced by a fast food restaurant chain.

What's the story of the Original Chicken Sandwich? After testing out hundreds of recipes, S. Truett Cathy created the recipe for our Original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich with two pickles on a toasted butter bun in 1964 – and we've been using the same recipe ever since.

As a lean-meat protein, Chick-Fil-A's nutrition profile can offer great choices for a healthy meal-all depending on the cooking method. Breading and deep frying both add unnecessary fats and calories to the meal, taking away from some of its nutritional value.

Additionally, Chick-fil-A uses real, whole chicken breasts that are not separated or ground - unlike some other fast-food restaurants whose chicken products are made from multiple sections of the chicken ground together. Each piece of chicken is hand cut before being marinated and breaded.

Yes, Chick-Fil-A lives up to the hype, for two primary reasons: They serve higher quality chicken than other fast food chains. The chicken is juicy and the filets come from natural, contiguous cuts of the chicken, so the texture is much better than the reconstituted meat you'll often find in other fast food chicken.

The original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich After testing out hundreds of recipes, our founder, Truett Cathy created the recipe for the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich with two pickles on a toasted buttered bun, and to this day, each one is still crafted with quality ingredients and breaded by hand.

Our chicken is held to some of the highest standards for cut and quality in the industry. It is never ground or mechanically separated. We expect all our supplier facilities to adhere to rigorous standards for food safety, as well as our Chick-fil-A restaurant Operators.

Our founder S. Truett Cathy started a small business in 1946, The Dwarf Grill, with his brother Ben in Atlanta. Through the years, that restaurant prospered and led Truett to further the success of his business. In 1967, Truett founded and opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta's Greenbriar Shopping Center.
