Starting August 18, Chick-fil-A is giving snack time an upgrade with the return of its Original Flavor Waffle Potato Chips, now thicker-cut for extra crunch and sprinkled with a touch of sea salt. Additionally, the company is launching its first flavored chip. The new Chick-fil-A Sauce Waffle Potato Chips are inspired by the restaurant’s beloved tangy, smoky signature sauce.
Both varieties will be available in 1.5-ounce bags at Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide, whether ordered as a side to your favorite meal or enjoyed on their own. They’ll join the menu as a permanent item, ensuring customers can grab them year-round.
Later this fall, the chips will also make their way to grocery store shelves in 7-ounce bags at select Publix, Kroger, and Walmart locations across the Atlantic and Southeast regions, expanding Chick-fil-A’s growing lineup of retail products that already includes its popular bottled sauces and dressings.
