Chick-fil-A’s nutrition picture is unusually honest for fast food: the lightest protein on the board is also one of the cheapest, and the heaviest items are exactly the ones you’d expect. Eight grilled nuggets are 130 calories with 25 grams of protein. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is 320 calories. The Spicy Deluxe is the peak sandwich at 550 calories and 1,810 milligrams of sodium. Every figure below is from Chick-fil-A’s published nutrition data, as compiled in October 2026.
How to read this chart: calories are for the standard build as served. Salads are listed with grilled chicken before dressing — dressing adds 25 to 310 calories, so a Cobb with Avocado Lime Ranch runs well above its 390-calorie base. A dash (—) means the chain’s published data for that figure was not consistently available; calories are verified for every row. Sodium is discussed in prose below the chart — the full sodium column is in the official nutrition guide.

Sodium: The Number to Watch
Chick-fil-A’s sodium is the quiet cost of the pressure-cooked flavor. The highest-sodium item in the chart is the Chicken, Egg & Cheese Biscuit at 1,830 mg — nearly 80% of a full day’s recommended limit in one breakfast sandwich. The Spicy Deluxe Sandwich runs 1,810 mg, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich 1,670 mg and the Deluxe 1,640 mg. At the other end, the Grilled Chicken Sandwich is 680 mg, the Cool Wrap 960 mg and 8 grilled nuggets 440 mg. If sodium matters to you, the grilled route is the answer: every grilled item in the chart sits under 1,100 mg.
Chick-fil-A Allergen Information
All chicken is pressure-cooked in refined peanut oil. Wheat is in every bun, breading and biscuit; milk and egg are in the cheese, shakes, Icedream and mayo-based sauces; tree nuts appear in the salads; and the Caesar dressing contains fish. Everything is prepared in shared kitchens, so no item can be called allergen-free. The full summary, with the item-by-item picture, is on the Chick-fil-A menu page — and the official allergen guide governs in store.
