A definitive ranking of everything on Chick-fil-A's breakfast menu
Hollis Johnson
Too chicken to eat fowl for breakfast? Think again.
Chick-fil-A's breakfast menu is a shining beacon of deliciousness in a sea of mediocre breakfast menus.
It's no surprise that the most popular fast-food chain in 24 states serves up a robust breakfast. But as with any fast-food joint, not all that glitters is gold.
We've ranked all 12 items available to find out what's best and what's best left alone.
There's a lot more than just chicken here, and everything is under $5.

Hollis JohnsonThe mini's bread... glistens. I'm instantly suspicious of anything that isn't deep fried yet still glistens like an oil slick in the midday sun.
The "chick-n-mini" consists of a normal Chick-fil-A nugget slipped into a "yeast roll" pocket that's glazed with a vague "honey spread". There's an odd flavor that I can't quite place — it tastes of slightly sweetened sourdough, but with chicken thrown in the mix.
On the whole, I'm not sure I like these much. There's more bread than nugget to each bite, and the gestalt of the chick-n-mini doesn't exactly throw off a breakfast vibe. They come in a three pack and a four pack, but frankly, two minis in, I'm done.
11. Chicken, egg, and cheese bagel
Hollis JohnsonAt first, it's the perfect composition of gooey American cheese and fluffy egg, with a classic Chick-fil-A chicken breast as the centerpiece.
But then the whole-grain bagel rather crudely interrupts the tail end of each bite — an unwelcome interjection of nutty whole wheat. Sure, fine if you like whole wheat, but if not... it's a bit much.
A normal bagel would do this sandwich more justice. I understand the health-conscious choice of whole wheat, but at what cost? It's decent enough for me to keep taking bites, but I'm not crazy about this one.
