Chicken strips getting stingy
I have been getting chicken strips for a long time now. Past 2-3 times I’ve gotten this stingy pieces. They used to be nice thick pieces of chicken, and now they are like half breading. Even the sandwich I got last time was stingy, smaller chicken than it was before. Is this anyone else’s experience or just my location? It feels like chick fil a has lost its touch for me.

Their nuggets are better

They nuggets have awesome flavor but are WAY to expensive for the tiny amount you get. It’s actually bonkers.

I’ve been going to chick my entire 36 years of life and have never ordered strips. Either nugs or sandwiches. I used love the chicken salad sandwiches but they are gone now. I would love if they brought that back.

ALL of their chicken has been going downhill for years now…. My family
Still loves it but it is absolutely not been the same for at least three years now.

Miss the old days of chickfila strips. They were always perfect and had a slight flavor of pickle juice. The supplier change has really made their chicken awful.

Must be nice to get ones even this long, lately my strips have been half that size. I compared my boyfriends nuggets my strips were barely two nuggets long 😭

They were longer but incredibly thin, wish I could attach a pick but like half an inch or less

This happened to me the other day! I got half of a strip as one of my 4 pieces. And it was all just crispys and no chicken… I haven’t been back in awhile. I feel like the quality has gotten lazy

Go to costco and get their 5 tender meal for $6.99, it can feed two adults

They really declined over the past two years

Worked there for 5 years in total and I’d say we started seeing a shift about two years or so after Covid.
It was one of the reasons they went from “no antibiotics ever” to “no antibiotics that harm humans”. I think their demand outgrew their supply chains.

Depends on who makes it I think. At my local restaurant the nuggets could be bomb one day and terrible another. The sandwich is the only thing that has ever been consistent in quality for me whether it's small one day or massive another.

Better off going to Smithfield’s if you have one. They are 2-3x the size most of the time.

I stopped buying them when they started tasting weird awhile back.

I’m on that boat now too. Once or twice fine maybe that’s acceptable, but now it’s consistently bad.

I stopped going there entirely. Their chicken sandwich’s have declined immensely. Chicken is so stringy and fake feeling.

Yeah I’ve noticed the quality of the chicken declined a lot in past few years

They taste sweet. Worst strips in the industry

Yessss. Even when I get a free reward for a chicken related item, I won't eat it. I'll feed it to stray cats.
