It turns out the Chick-fil-A grilled chicken sandwich is just as bad as the original chicken sandwich

Uugh. That figures. I have never had a negative response from a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, but I will never again eat an Arby’s chicken sandwich. Why? Because about 20 minutes after I have ever eaten one, I started to get angry, and within 10 minutes after that I became nearly homicidal. It took a couple of times to discover this, but my reaction was so severe that I wondered if I had been poisoned.
So, FWIW, here are the ingredients, according to fastfoodnutrition.org, of the Arby’s chicken sandwich:
Buttermilk Chicken Fillet: Chicken Breast with Rib Meat, Water, Seasoning (salt, buttermilk powder, whey powder, hydrolyzed corn protein, dried onion, dried garlic yeast extract, dextrose, dried chicken broth, maltodextrin, lactic acid, calcium lactate, natural and artificial flavor, modified food starch, dried honey, dried cane syrup, citric acid, lemon juice concentrate, disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate), Modified Food Starch, Sodium Phosphates. Battered and Breaded With: Water, Bleached Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Modified Corn Starch, Salt, Leavening, Natural and Artificial Flavoring, Wheat Gluten, Yellow Corn Flour, Wheat Starch, Spices, Lactic Acid Powder, Maltodextrin, Buttermilk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Dried Garlic, Dried Onion, Dried Yeast, Sugar. Breading set in vegetable oil. Cooked in Corn Oil. CONTAINS: MILK, WHEAT.
From the same site, here is the ingredient list for a regular Chick-Fil-A sandwich:
Chicken (boneless, skinless chicken breast with rib meat, salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, spices, paprika, enriched bleached flour [with malted barley flour, niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid], sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, nonfat milk, leavening [baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate], spice, soybean oil, color [paprika], pasteurized nonfat milk, pasteurized egg, fully refined peanut oil [with dimethylpolysiloxane {an anti-foam agent} added]), bun (flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid], water, sugar, yeast, wheat gluten, contains 2% or less of each of the following: soybean oil, salt, cultured wheat flour, vinegar, calcium sulfate, ascorbic acid, enzymes, wheat starch, monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, DATEM, soy lecithin, potassium iodate), butter oil (soybean oil, palm kernel oil, soy lecithin, natural flavor and beta carotene), pickle (cucumbers, water, vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, alum, potassium sorbate [preservative], natural flavors [dill emulsion], polysorbate 80, yellow 5, blue 1).
I guess I won’t eat any more of those either. I wonder what they mean by “natural flavor”…
Yes. With a list like that it’s hard to identify what’s causing the reaction!
Chick-fil-a took a knee to BLM, I would never buy anything from that scum joint, all the time preaching they were a Christian organization, nuff said.
^ This. I don’t understand the continued devotion of those ostensibly on the political right to Chick-fil-A, on either ideological or “quality and healthiness” grounds. They’ve already shown themselves to be shaky and unreliable on the former, and on the latter, they are still just fast food, utilizing all the tricks of that trade in developing and marketing their products.
Certainly no one should’ve expected them to be all that different where the quality of the food was concerned. Yes, I’ll admit I still eat at Culver’s and Freddy’s sometimes, but I do so fully knowing it isn’t good for me, and that I should minimize my trips there. Usually it’s out of convenience for a quick lunch during the workday, if I can’t get home and eat from my own pantry.
I haven’t been to a Chick-fil-A in years now, last trip was when I was dragged along to eat there by a friend of mine, and I’m pretty sure that was in 2018.
Yea, me and the wife stopped eating at fast food joints, culvers or in-out burgers once in a while.
That is the least of it. All of our food is horrible. Products are pushed by big AG. For instance, read the label of everything before you buy, in the grocery store. Look for products that are non GMO. Surprise, almost everything contains soybean oil as a major ingredient, such as mayonnaise. Not only is it all GMO Soy, but it is a huge problem as an endocrine disrupter, and may be attributed to breast and prostate cancer, obesity, thyroid problems. and also, check it out, your new DOJ just stopped RFK jr from implementing the removal of flouride from public water.
They dont care if they are killing us
If you have ever been inside the Chick-Fi-A organization’s HQ in Atlanta you will quickly realize that it is a massive cult. A Christian-Zionist cult crafted by the Cathy family who runs the organization with an iron hand. A majority of the company’s profits come directly from loyal conservative Christian’s who patronize habitually, lining up like lemmings, with cars idling, waiting for fried chicken-crap. One of their top executives is exploring expansion into the Japanese market and asked how the Japanese would take to their menu line-up.
I summed it up in three words in Japanese for him… “honto-ni mazui” (really disgusting) as told to me by the Japanese wife and others as we live in the epicenter of Japanese culture in the USA. Also told him that their current business model of drive-through, endless waiting with cars idling would not be feasible in Japan as there was no room to implement it nearly anywhere in the country.
This fool (the Chick-Fil-A executive) did not like what he was told. There’s more to this story if anyone is interested.
I’m interested, GBT.
Okay–I also mentioned that Japanese people do not like the white meat in chicken, they prefer chicken legs and quarters and a ‘white meat’ fried crap sandwich would go over like another atomic bomb on Nagasaki–which killed mostly Christians BTW as it was at the time the epicenter of Christianity in Japan. Told them that their seasoning crust was plain and presentation would be viewed as 2nd rate in the eyes of Japanese. Told him that the common ‘L-Chicky’ available at Lawsons (like a 7/11 there) was more flavorful and available and less expensive. The fool didn’t get the idea of ‘no drive throughs’ at all, thinking you could just arrogantly transpose the American business model there (a common thing BTW). He didn’t realize the land and space restrictions in Japan at all. Chick-Fil-A is a massive corporation filled with Sycophants loyal to the Cathy family and mostly staffed by Christian-Zionist types. The fact the old-man Cathy actually bent the knee to a knee-grow during the BLM riots a few years ago, tells you everything about this company as thy will do anything and everything to get along and not have their outlets burned down by the mobs.
Ha. I’m certainly no expert on Japan, or it’s culture, but know enough to realize that the typical footprint of Chick-fil-A (or most American fast food outlets) won’t fly there, if only due to inherent land use restrictions. In my local AO, Chick-fil-A has run up against zoning restrictions in some of the more upscale municipalities that mandate things like a minimum 1 acre lot size on major thoroughfares for a fast food outlets with a drive through.
These rules keep the frontage on these arterial roadways from being endless stretches of goyslop outlets (with many typically ending up vacant and neglected due closing after several years because there’s too much competition to keep them all viable). The company fought one municipality here for a while trying to get a variance, until they finally had to admit they were beat. So they bought the former site of a large sit down casual bar and grill, demolished it, and built their double drive through chicken shack on a 1.25 acre plot. That had to hurt, given the much higher than typical cost of development for a new location. But, suckers dutifully line up there every day (well, except Sunday) to buy their overrated product. So, I guess it paid for for them.
Don’t have to have mobs threatening your store to think that some things White Americans have done to Black Americans are just plain wrong. When that fool shot up that church in 2016, breathes there a soul so dead who didn’t want to disown him, to say “This was not the way White men are. This was not the way Southerners are. This was not the way Christians are. This was a waste of life.”
Ooh, I do love to hear stories of arrogant corporate big shots screwing up bigly. Can you say “schadenfreude”? Please do regale us with whatever details you care to pass along.
It is not just the food. My sweet, Beautiful Christian-raised daughter was totally messed up– Spiritually, physically, emotionally Once she began working there. I have huge regrets in pointing her to that place as her first job…
I avoid most prepared food places period. They make me sick most of the time. I do all the cooking at home so I know exactly what goes into it. I have to say I sure miss the way my mama used to cook. She could fry a pork chop that was so good I couldn’t wait to get home from school. My aunt made the best southern fried chicken in the world. Don’t even get me started on the fish gran used to fry. I don’t know if it was the quality of the ingredients, the way it was made, or the pork fat it was fried in. I can’t even come close to the way the women in my family cooked. Unfortunately I’d be dead if I ate like that all the time. But I sure miss the old days.
I wish I could describe how great I feel after a couple years of clean eating- meat from a rancher I have come to know, no enriched wheat products, hardly any vegetables, a few fruits, red wine, fine cigars…ok maybe not the cigars- but approaching 60 I feel great and every little old man malady is nearly gone. Sure, it’s not as convenient, maybe the food costs more but because I’m more satiated I don’t eat as much, so it’s a push. I’m even running again, and mt. biking. It just takes discipline- not to be confused with motivation. We need to be asking a whole lot more “by what standard?” about every little claim or thing out there. You are on your own and responsible for you (family). Maybe it’s me, but I get pissed off when I know “they” are trying to destroy my health for their profit- that is an offense to me. No different that some tard pulling a weapon on me- I don’t like that, I intend to “handle” it myself.
Another example of wolves in sheep’s clothing. I will not eat fast food from Chick-fil-A on any other such establishment. When it is necessary, I met friends in local mom-and-pop restaurants where I know I am not being poisoned. I quit Franken Food many years ago.
Hate to break it to ya- you’re still being poisoned. Not intentionally perhaps, no. But any establishment watching food costs to maximize returns is poisoning you, even if out of naivete’. Ingredients…they come form the same places- unless you found a one in a million place that’s not serving you seed oils galore, enriched grain products, etc., ad nauseum. You’re just being poisoned by nicer people.
Unfortunately, this is true. I have no illusions about what I’m getting when I eat out, irrespective of where I’m eating. Seed oils, soy, excessive sugar, pan whiz (a butter substitute used by a LOT of restaurants) and on and on with synthetic and chemical ingredients that have God only knows what effect on ones health, both short and long term. And now we have genuine frankenfood like impossible burgers and beyond beef ans chicken substitutes. These are cocktails of chemicals created by true mad scientists to replace the flavor and texture of meat, without actually containing any. I’m left to wonder why vegans would want something that approximates meat, when they (typically) are so militantly against it’s consumption. A bit of hipocracy coming through there, if you ask me.
Then there’s the kitchen staff, and the cleanliness standards for the back of house. As a plumber who does periodically work in restaurants, both chain and mom and pop places, I can tell you there are a decent number of joints I just won’t eat at because I’ve seen what the kitchen looks like, and what goes on back there. If you have the pleasure of not being so informed, believe me, you don’t want to know.
Oh sure, they clean up at closing time so it’s presentable again for the next days business, but things go on during the height of the lunch and dinner rush that would make most people gag. And then there’s deferred maintenance on things like grease traps, exhaust hoods, filters for the ice maker and drink station water supply, and a whole host of other equipment issues (refrigerators and freezers that barely hold required minimum temp) that have many places flirting with potential disaster.
There is one small chain here in Kootenai County, ID which uses no seed oils, etc. However, since the price of any restaurant food is through the roof at the moment, my tribe and I do not go out to eat. And we grow most of our own produce. What we cannot grow, we buy at local farmer’s markets. That being said, since this area and the area west of us-The Palouse-is subject to continuous Chem-Trail assault, we are being slowly poisoned. Life is a vale of tears. Bleib ubrig.
Supermarkets sell Frankenfood in the produce bins. Soy and canola are basically good plants but almost all are now genetically modified to be saturated with “pesticides.” I’m super-sensitive to glyphosate so I’ve learned I can eat only fruits and vegetables with thick outer layers, even now. Nuts, melons, citrus, dry beans MAY BE safe. Apples, berries, cherries, celery, spinach–all of which I like–are still toxic.
That’s one chemical sensitivity. There are others. A few unfortunate people have more than one.
None of the western fast food puke is kosher, so never has been a problem for (((me)))
Well, mazel tov to you! Unfortunately some of the most toxic chemicals in food are in the pareve food too–especially in the produce sections at stores. Things sold as pesticides may be legally sprayed right on the food as preservatives or ripening agents.
I don’t even go to supermarket I only consume food from a tiny handful of places. Mostly my own farm.
Must love the irony. Additives that prevent food from going bad gross people out; food that goes bad in a natural, relatively nontoxic way because it lacks additives grosses people out too!
I suspect it’s not just Chik fil-A. Many fast food restaurants get their supplies from the same vendor.
