Costco's New Food Court Meal Is Drawing Chick-fil-A Comparisons
Costco shoppers have a new reason to stop by the food court before heading home.
The warehouse giant has rolled out a new menu item nationwide: a basket of chicken strips served with a dipping sauce that's already drawing comparisons to Chick-fil-A.
The new meal is landing on the heels of a successful test run at select locations and is now available at food courts across the country.
Costco’s New Menu Item: What's Included?
The new meal comes with five breaded chicken breast strips, one dipping sauce, and sells for $6.99, although prices may slightly vary by location.
Early reviews suggest Costco doesn’t skimp on portion size, with many shoppers saying the chicken strips are larger than what they'd expect from a typical fast-food meal.
Why Are People Comparing It to Chick-fil-A?
The Chick-fil-A comparison isn't really about the chicken. Early reviews are focusing on the dipping sauce.
Some shoppers say it reminds them of Chick-fil-A's signature sauce, while others describe it as closer to a honey mustard with its own unique flavor.
Either way, it's become one of the biggest talking points since the meal launched.
Not Everyone Is Convinced
As with most food court launches, the reviews have been mixed.
Some shoppers praise the generous portions and value, while others say the chicken is a little too dry or heavily breaded.
Even so, plenty of customers say the new Costco chicken strips are worth trying, especially if you’re already making a warehouse run.
Another New Reason to Visit the Costco Food Court
Costco’s food court has built a loyal following with inexpensive favorites like the famous hot dog combo and pizza slices.
Now, the new chicken strip basket is giving us another option that's generating plenty of conversation. We’ll have to decide for ourselves if the Chick-fil-A comparisons hold up.
Either way, there's no question this is one of the biggest additions to the Costco food court menu in years.
