Chick-fil-A sources its chicken from farms across the United States, focusing on 100% real, whole, boneless chicken breast that has never been ground or separated, with no fillers, added steroids, or hormones. The chickens are raised in climate-controlled barns (not cages) according to Chick-fil-A's Animal Wellbeing Standards, which include being cage-free and free of antibiotics important to human medicine (NAIHM) since spring 2024. This means some antibiotics may be used only if necessary for animal health, but not those critical for human medicine. The chicken is sourced from multiple U.S.-based suppliers, including large producers like Tyson, as well as regional suppliers, to ensure a steady supply and maintain quality. Chick- fil-A maintains strict quality and safety standards verified by regular audits and visits to suppliers and farms

. In response to supply challenges, including those caused by avian flu outbreaks and antibiotic-free chicken shortages, Chick-fil-A shifted from a "No Antibiotics Ever" policy to the NAIHM approach starting in 2024 to maintain supply without compromising on quality or animal welfare

. Overall, Chick-fil-A’s chicken comes from carefully selected U.S. farms and suppliers committed to high animal welfare and food safety standards, ensuring the chicken served is fresh, additive-free, and responsibly raised
