The Absolute Best Chick-Fil-A Breakfast Item Isn't The Original Chicken Biscuit

Chick-fil-A tastes good at any time of the day. The chain restaurant has a large breakfast menu that started with chicken on a biscuit back in 1986, and has expanded since. Chowhound took the time to rank Chick-fil-A's breakfast menu from worst to best, and the original chicken biscuit was surprisingly not the top choice. The chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit ranked at No. 1 on our list. This menu item is the best of both worlds, with the classic egg and cheese combo along with Chick-fil-A's delicious chicken. Not to mention it's on a flaky biscuit that is baked fresh that day.

Chick-fil-A doesn't necessarily have a bad-tasting breakfast item, but the hash brown scramble bowl and fruit cup were not our favorites. None of the other breakfast items brought as much flavor to the table as the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit. We aren't the only ones who are fans of this item, customers on Reddit also claim it as their favorite, especially with honey BBQ sauce on the side. With 27 grams of protein, this is a decently hearty breakfast to start off your day. Chick-fil-A breakfast is available Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and if you're planning to go, this item is a must-try. 

The great part about this sandwich is not only the satisfying chicken, egg, and cheese combination, but that it's also customizable. You can swap out American cheese for Pepper Jack, add bacon or sausage for extra protein, or get one of Chick-fil-A's signature sauces on the side. Some people also suggest adding grape jelly as a topping that will take this sandwich to the next level. This may not be the most ordered item at Chick-fil-A (that would be the waffle fries), but it definitely hits the spot first thing in the morning.

There are many great fast food breakfast sandwiches out there (we ranked them), but Chick-fil-A is the spot to go for a reliable, quality sandwich. Its chicken is also cooked in peanut oil, which may help to give it that sweet, irresistible taste that so many people love. Not only is the food great, but Chick-fil-A customer service is some of the best around. With so much flavor and so many upgrades to choose from, the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit will not leave you disappointed.
