Chick-fil-A uses 100% refined peanut oil to cook its chicken, which is heat- processed to remove allergens and enhance flavor. For their waffle fries, Chick-fil-A uses 100% canola oil for cooking. Both types of oil are chosen for their cooking properties and taste enhancement, with the refined peanut oil containing no trans fat or cholesterol and offering a balance of good fats. The canola oil used for fries has a high smoke point and neutral flavor, ideal for frying.
In summary:
- Chicken is cooked in fully refined peanut oil.
- Waffle fries are cooked in 100% canola oil.
Refined peanut oil is processed to remove peanut protein allergens, making it generally safe for most customers, including some with peanut allergies, though individuals with allergies should always exercise caution.
