Attention all waffle fry aficionados! Chick-fil-A has made a change to its iconic Waffle Potato Fries, and the internet is crunching down on the details. According to Chick-fil-A, the new recipe delivers the same irresistible flavor fans know and love—only now, they stay crispier for longer.
Yes, you read that right. Crispier. Longer. As if we needed another reason to hoard those fries like they’re nuggets of golden treasure.
So, What’s New?
Chick-fil-A swears it hasn’t messed with perfection. The slight adjustment involves a new coating that features pea starch. That’s right—peas. This change reportedly gives the fries a longer-lasting crunch without sacrificing the taste that makes people consider dipping their fries into Chick-fil-A Sauce a personality trait.
But Wait—Are Peas an Allergen?
The good news is that this new coating does not contain any of the nine major allergens. However, if you have a rare sensitivity to peas (or just an irrational fear of vegetables), you might want to check the detailed nutrition and ingredient information on Chick-fil-A’s website or app before diving into a tray of these crispy wonders.
What About Taste Tests?
Reports from early fry samplers have been overwhelmingly positive. Some even claim the fries taste better now. Rest assured, Chick-fil-A says it remains committed to food safety and quality, so your fries should still pair perfectly with your favorite dipping sauce.
Naturally, social media has erupted with opinions. Some are praising the upgrade as a revolutionary leap for fry-kind. Others are reminiscing about the good old days (last week) before peas got involved. One thing is certain: the fries remain waffle-shaped, potato-packed, and dangerously snackable.
Whether you’re a die-hard Chick-fil-A fan, like myself, or a casual fry enthusiast, the updated Waffle Potato Fries are worth a try. Just be warned—they may stay crispier, but that doesn’t mean they’ll last long in your hands.
