Chick-fil-A is now experimenting with the introduction of Family Style Meals in select locations across the United States as a means of offering a convenient takeaway option for groups.
The Family Style Meal boasts enough food to feed about four people and includes a main entree, two sides and a set of eight small rolls. Some of the main meals that are available include everything from Chick-n-Strips and Chick-fil-A Nuggets to Grilled Chicken Breasts. As part of the trial of these new Family Style Meals, the QSR chain is also launching two all-new sides: Bacon Baked Beans and Mac & Cheese.
These convenient takeaway sets also include everything needed for setting up a meal, such as plates, utensils and condiments, with the option to add beverages, additional sides or entrees as needed.
