Missing the breakfast cutoff usually means changing your order. Chick-fil-A’s fall chicken-and-waffles sandwich gives you another option: come back for the bigger lunch version.
The chain’s fall launch brought the sandwiches nationwide on August 24, 2026. Maple-flavored waffles replace the bun, with chicken, three strips of applewood-smoked bacon and honey butter spread in between. Syrup comes on the side.
Which version can you order?
The official ordering FAQ separates them by time. The breakfast sandwich runs from opening until 10:30 a.m. The larger entrée sandwich runs from 10:30 a.m. until closing.
Both versions offer Original, Spicy or Grilled chicken. The breakfast sandwich has a smaller chicken portion and waffle, so the two names aren’t just different labels on the same order.
Check your restaurant before making the trip
These are limited-time items at participating restaurants. Use your location’s menu in the app or on the ordering site to check what you can actually buy and what it costs. A national announcement isn’t a local stock guarantee.
The FAQ also says Chick-fil-A One points can’t be redeemed for either sandwich. That matters if you were planning to make this your next reward order.
For now, the useful distinction is simple: the waffle option isn’t breakfast-only, but the size you get depends on when you order.
And if you would rather cook than queue, our Chick-fil-A-at-home guide is a different route—not a recipe for this new sandwich.
