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.

Double Decker
Some claim that the Double Decker, a sandwich with two fried chicken patties and two slices of cheese, is something you can legitimately order by name. My local Chick-fil-A looked at me like I was speaking another language. I don’t think this is real, but I'm not going to stop you from trying to order it.

- Grab a chocolate chunk cookie, tear it up into pieces, and mix into your shake.

Dog Treats
This isn’t a cute nickname. Apparently, some Chick-fil-A locations have dog treats on deck. Next time you’re in the drive-thru with your pup, try ordering off the secret menu for dogs.
