In an era of rising prices, replicating favorite restaurant dishes at home not only saves time but also money. Recently, Costco introduced a copycat version of Chick-fil-A’s famous spicy chicken sandwich, priced at under $3, making it possible to enjoy Chick-fil-A’s flavors without the restaurant cost.
Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken sandwich features a simple recipe: a breaded and seasoned chicken breast served on a buttery bun with pickles, typically costing around $7 after tax. Costco’s six-pack “Cluckin’ Tasty” spicy chicken sandwiches include seasoned chicken breasts and Hawaiian buns. They can be heated in a microwave or air fryer, with the air fryer option providing a texture closer to the restaurant version. It’s recommended to add pickles after heating for an extra flavor boost. The six-pack retails for $16.99, which breaks down to about $2.83 each—significantly more affordable than Chick-fil-A, especially for families looking to feed everyone.
According to comments from the Instagram account @Costcohotfinds, the sandwich is described as “mildly spicy and quite delicious!” One user exclaimed, “This stuff is amazing!” and another added, “So convenient and tasty!” How does the texture compare? Reddit users labeled it as “a budget version of Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken sandwich, just missing the lettuce and tomato.” Interestingly, Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken sandwich also does not include lettuce and tomato—they are available as extras for a price.
In addition to the spicy chicken sandwich, chicken nuggets are among Chick-fil-A’s most popular items. Costco’s own brand, Kirkland Signature, previously launched a new chicken nugget product that generated a buzz online; the “Chicken Breast Chunks” received rave reviews, with many customers claiming they taste almost identical to Chick-fil-A’s nuggets.
