Chick-fil-a Coleslaw Recipe

A few years ago, Chick-fil-a took their coleslaw off the menu in favor of healthier options. When they removed it, they posted the recipe on their website. I took a screenshot of the recipe just in case I wanted to make it. Well, I finally whipped up a batch. OMG! This is a really good coleslaw. Perfect as a side dish for a summer cookout or on top of a BBQ sandwich.

Will Chick Fil A bring back coleslaw?

While we can hope and speculate, it ultimately depends on Chick-fil-A’s strategic decisions and customer demand. Given their focus on healthier options, such as their kale salad, it may be less likely. However, with popular demand and nostalgia, there’s always a chance they could bring back their beloved menu item in the future. Only time will tell!
