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.

We use 100 percent whole breast meat with no added fillers or hormones, and since May 2019, with No Antibiotics – Ever. Our Original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich recipe was created by our Founder Truett Cathy, and it hasn't changed in more than 50 years.

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.

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.

What's the secret to its popularity? While it seems simple – just a lightly breaded chicken breast with two pickle chips between a toasted, buttery bun – every part of the Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is truly an original at Chick-fil-A. And it all goes back to the creation of this sandwich more than 50 years ago.

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 bun is a typical hamburger-style bun. Soft and slightly sweet, with a fluffy, Wonderbread-like texture. It measures up at around 4 1/2-inches in diameter, which puts it right in the range of Arnold Hamburger Rolls.
