There are a lot of things to say about the Chick-fil-A organization, many of them bad, but one thing is certain: People love that place. Despite some famously intolerant remarks and donations from CEO Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A’s popularity remains almost second to none. As with nearly every other fast food joint in the country, a bunch of teenagers from TikTok and Yelp have decided that Chick-fil-A has a “secret” menu made up of Frankenstein-style ingredients from the regular menu. Need help DIY-ing some secret menu items? Here are some popular Chick-fil-A hacks.

As always, folks, don’t be a jerk. Make sure this isn’t a huge hassle for the employees, and if you’re being extra complicated, tip well.
