So, I’ve been trying to cut down on gluten, right? It’s not always easy, especially when you’re craving some good old fast food. I heard that Chick-fil-A has some gluten-free options, so I decided to give it a shot. My main target today was their gluten-free bun.
I rolled up to the drive-thru, feeling a bit nervous ’cause I wasn’t sure how this whole gluten-free thing worked there. When it was my turn, I asked the guy at the window about their gluten-free options, specifically the bun. The guy said you gotta ask for it special.
I ordered my usual spicy chicken sandwich but made sure to tell them I needed it with a gluten-free bun. They seemed to know what I was talking about, which was a relief. They are not provided by default on all sandwiches, so I made it clear I needed a gluten-free one. They confirmed they had them and said it would take just a bit longer.

The wait wasn’t too bad, maybe a couple of extra minutes. I paid, got my food, and found a spot to park and dig in.
First impressions? The bun looked a little different than their regular ones, a bit smaller maybe, and it was individually wrapped. I guess that’s to avoid any cross-contamination with regular buns, which is pretty smart if you ask me. It seems they only start handling them after I place an order. I appreciate this because it can minimize the possibility of cross-contamination during the ordering process.
- Texture: It was definitely softer than a regular bun, kind of like those soft dinner rolls. Not in a bad way, just different.
- Flavor: Honestly, it didn’t taste much different than a regular bun. Maybe a tad sweeter, but nothing crazy.
- Overall: It held up pretty well with the chicken and toppings. Didn’t fall apart or anything. I was pretty impressed.
Taste Test
All in all, I’d say Chick-fil-A’s gluten-free bun is a solid option if you’re trying to avoid gluten. It’s not exactly the same as their regular bun, but it’s a decent substitute that lets you enjoy their sandwiches without all the gluten. Just remember to specifically ask for the gluten-free bun when you order!
I will be back and update this article if I find any new details or changes!
