The new fast food battles are over breakfast and Chick-fil-A is upping its game by introducing a chicken and waffle item, as well as other new breakfast options.
The new menu does include a solo maple waffle, but who would order that when you can order a waffle with a piece of chicken? It is a popular pairing in the South and it will now be available elsewhere.
Chick-fil-A is also going to offer Cinnamon Swirls (three cinnamon buns in one); Egg White Chicken Grill (grilled chicken and egg whites on an English muffin); Multigrain Oatmeal with Fresh Fruit; and Greek Yogurt Parfait.
The new items will only be available in middle Georgia; Inland Empire, California; greater Philadelphia; and Memphis, Tennessee. As USA Today notes, there is no word if the menu will expand nationally. However, if these items are a success, they probably will expand the list of markets, like was Taco Bell did with its unique breakfast menu.
Last year, the Mexican food chain launched a breakfast menu that includes items like the Waffle Taco. The menu went national earlier this year and got a unique Ronald McDonald ad campaign.
