Ordering a Chick-fil-A Lettuce Wrap
Chick-fil-A does not have a lettuce wrap on its official menu. It is possible to customize your order for those on keto or low-carb diets. Knowing how to order makes the process simple. Specifying "no bun" and requesting it to be "wrapped in lettuce" allows you to enjoy your chicken sandwich without the carbs. The grilled chicken sandwiches work best because the lettuce pairs well with the grilled chicken.
Customizing Your Chick-fil-A Order
Customizing is easy in person, at the drive-thru, or through the app.
- Ordering in Person or at the Drive-Thru: State your order and add the special instruction. For example, say, "I'd like the Grilled Chicken Club, no bun, please, wrapped in lettuce." Most employees are familiar with this request.
- Ordering via the App: Use the mobile app to customize your sandwich. Find the "customize" or "modify" button. Select the option to remove the bun and add lettuce as a wrapping option.
- Choosing Your Protein: Grilled chicken is the best choice for a lettuce wrap, which is available in both sandwich and nugget form. Grilled chicken reduces calories and carbs compared to the breaded and fried options.
- Choosing Your Add-ons: Consider low-carb additions, such as cheese, bacon, and pickles.
- Selecting a Sauce: Choose keto-friendly sauces like Zesty Buffalo or Avocado Lime Ranch.
