In case you missed it, Chick-Fil-A just gave away an enormous amount of their new Spicy Chicken Biscuits last week.
I made my reservation and got my coupon and because I didn't want to go eat a Chick-Fil-A Spicy Biscuit alone, I got a coupon for my wife as well. Little did I know at the time that she doesn't like chicken for breakfast (I must admit chicken for breakfast is a little odd).

| Spicy Chicken Biscuit (it needs Chick-Fil-A sauce or cheese) |
We arrived at Chick-Fil-A with coupons in hand to get our Spicy Chicken Biscuits and then my wife decides to drop the chicken bomb and informs me she doesn't even want the Spicy Chicken Biscuit.....she wants something else.
In an effort to keep my wife happy, I relutanctly had to purchase a Sesame Seed Bagel with Chicken, Egg and Cheese (with no Chicken) and then had to redeem the two Spicy Chicken Biscuit coupons for myself (I wasn't too upset that I had two meals).
I love Chick-Fil-A. But, as I chowed down on my two Spicy Chicken Biscuits, I couldn't help looking at my wife's chicken-less sandwich with just a little envy. It looked so good, so moist, so breakfast-like.
She didn't offer to share any with me and when I asked if I could have a bite, she promptly responded with "Eat your chicken, you dragged me here so you could have it."
Wallowing in my own chicken pity, I realized that while I love Chick-Fil-A, I don't love their breakfast. So, I wrote down these 5 things that I think would make Chick-Fil-A's Breakfast better.
5 Steps to Make Chick-Fil-A Breakfast Better:
1. Get better coffee: this is just a given. The coffee at Chick-Fil-A is horrible. Based on the fact that Burger King is now serving Seattle's Best I don't imagine it would be that difficult to get good coffee at Chick-Fil-A.
2. Make my coffee for me: After you finally get good coffee.....offer to put the cream and sugar in for me. If McDonald's can do it. You can do it.
3. More Cheese (on everything): the biscuits soaked in butter are good. But......they would be way better with some cheese thrown on top. It's still just too dry for me and my experience has taught me that if there's anything ever wrong with your food: add cheese.
4. Not just Chicken: I know you're Chick-Fil-A. I get it. I support it. I love it. But for breakfast...we need options. It can't just be chicken. You have that awesome sesame seed bagel thing and I know we can get it without Chicken....but just give me more options and variety. 5. Cheaper: Maybe I'm just cheap (it's actually highly possible that I'm cheap). However, I believe that Chick-Fil-A breakfast needs to be more affordable. I'm not demanding a dollar menu....that would just be off brand....but it wouldn't hurt to bring down the price 50 cents or $1.
Oh, and as far as the Spicy Biscuit goes....it' tastes just like a mini Spicy Chicken Sandwich (which is my favorite). But, I like my Spicy Sandwich with pepper jack cheese, a wheat bun and an unusual amount of Chick-Fil-A sauce to make it perfect. Adding these things to the Spicy Biscuit makes it feel like lunch....and who wants to eat lunch for breakfast?
Bottom line: the biscuit is an inferior 2nd best to the Spicy Sandwich and if I was going to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast it wouldn't be my 1st choice.....I would probably order the Sesame Seed Bagel with Chicken, Egg and Cheese (minus the chicken).
You hit the nail on the head with this write-up. I also got the free spicy biscuit last week, also got one for my wife. The first thing I told her was the coffee was overly acidic and unrefined. I also wondered why there were two packets of "sugar in the raw" in the bottom of the bag. We were out and about, why would I want to put my own sugar in. And I also thought the chicken biscuit needed something to make it go down easier, either cheese and/or a sauce.
