They’re known for their consistent quality and friendly service, which isn’t something you can always say about every fast-food chain.

Plus, they’ve got that signature Chick-fil-A sauce that people love so much, that they started bottling it up and selling it at grocery stores.

With so much love for their menu and brand, it’s no surprise Chick-fil-A is always looking for ways to keep things fresh.

Now, the chain has announced that a major change is coming that will affect us here in New Jersey.

Yes, Chick-fil-A has decided to switch things up with its iconic waffle fries, and it’s got people talking. They’ve tweaked the recipe to make the fries crispier and keep that crunch going longer.

They decided it was time for a change and now the fries will have a special coating made with pea starch.

So, crispier, crunchier fries? That sounds like a win to me, but apparently not to everyone. Some fans are saying the new fries just don’t hit the same and that they taste really dry now.

Although there’s a change, Chick-fil-A says it’s safe for people with allergies to the big nine allergens (like peanuts, milk, and eggs).

Others are worried about how this might affect folks with pea or legume allergies. It’s been a hot topic online and is getting mixed reactions from loyal customers.

Even though some people are begging Chick-fil-A to bring back the old fries, the chain is sticking with the new recipe for the time being according to People.

They’re confident that the new version still delivers the flavor everyone knows and loves just with a little extra crunch.

Whether you’re team old fries or ready to give the new ones a shot, it looks like this is the new normal in terms of waffle fries at Chick-fil-A.
