Enjoying a Chick-fil-A meal is a pleasure for many fans. From the pickle on the Southern style chicken sandwich to the signature lemonade, the quick service restaurant has many signature items. While the brand occasionally adapts to food trends, this menu hack gives fans the ultimate saucy sandwich, and Chick-fil-A did not have to add a new item.
Menu hacks are just as important as secret menu items. In addition to fans feeling that they are in the know with specialty food items, these unique ideas showcase people’s flavor creativity. Just like a chef can see handful of ingredients and create a new recipe, restaurant guests do the same thing with entrees, sides and condiments.
How to Hack the Saucy Chick-fil-A Sandwich.
As many Chick-fil-A fans know, there is not a saucy sandwich on the menu. While there are plenty of dips and sauces, the signature Southern chicken is not smothered in a tangy, spicy or other flavored sauce.
One TikTok user created the Mexican Style Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It uses Chick-fil-A’s Creamy Salsa Dressing.

To master this menu hack, it starts with the Spicy Deluxe Sandwich. Then, the chicken is removed from the bun and tossed in the dressing. After putting the chicken back in the bun, it is topped with Charred Tomato Crispy Red Bell Peppers.
The key to this menu hack is to cover the whole chicken breast in the sauce. While this TikTok account uses an empty container, other menu hacks have suggested using the serving bag. No matter which method is used, the key is to ensure that the chicken is well sauced.

Fans Share Ways to Upgrade This Chick-fil-A menu Hack.
While a good menu hack reveals a flavorful discovery, a great hack inspires restaurant guests to make it their own. As seen in the TikTok video’s comments, people have taken this saucy chicken idea and adapted it.
For example, one person suggested crushing the Charred Tomato Crispy Red Bell Peppers and adding it as a coating to the chicken. This idea would be similar to how people use Cheetos dust on chicken or corn.
Other people shared their favorite sauces and combinations. With the many sauces and dressings, there are plenty of sweet, spicy and savory blends to turn that simple chicken sandwich into a flavor bomb.
