"Although not as frequently mentioned, coleslaw actually belongs in the same Chick-fil-A hall of fame as its chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. Having been on the menu since 1967, it's a trusty side dish to Chick-fil-A's versatile range of chicken items. Decades of history, unfortunately, could not save it from getting axed in 2016 as the brand aimed to bring more superfood items to the line-up and cleared up coleslaw's slot for newer dishes."
"Needless to say, this cancellation did not go well with the brand's customer base. Anger and disappointment flooded the comment section of its coleslaw farewell Facebook post. Some even swore they would boycott the fast food chain for this. Already foreseeing this outcome, Chick-fil-A released the well-kept recipe for its infamous coleslaw, a goodbye gift that keeps this dish alive long after gone."
Chick-fil-A's coleslaw was a longtime menu staple since 1967 and a popular side alongside chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. The restaurant removed coleslaw in 2016 to make room for newer, superfood-style salad items. The removal triggered strong negative reactions from customers, including calls to boycott. In response, Chick-fil-A published the brand's coleslaw recipe so customers could prepare the dish at home. The recipe lists basic ingredients such as white vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, kosher salt, mayonnaise, shredded cabbage, and carrots. The chain has no current plans to reinstate the side dish.
