Chick-fil-A is retiring its chicken salad sandwich. As of September 30th, you will no longer be able to order the southern picnic staple. Southern Living spoke to Chick-fil-A and spokeswoman Leigh Jackson said, "The decision to remove Chicken Salad from the menu was a difficult one. We know that many of our customers loved our Chicken Salad, but we have also heard from guests that they are looking for new tastes and fresh flavors on the menu in our restaurants. " To soften the blow a little, the good folks at Chick-fil-A are providing the recipe on their website and handing out flyers at many locations. You can get the recipe yourself right here.
