Chick-fil-A Is Testing Smokehouse BBQ Nuggets, And They Sound Delish

If you are always on the lookout for the next fast food flavor bomb, Chick-fil-A just one that you’re going to want to get your hands on.. assuming you’re lucky enough to live in St. Louis. Say hello to Smokehouse BBQ Nuggets, a bold new take on the brand’s legendary chicken nuggets, drenched in zesty sauce and topped with crunchy pickles. Yes, you read that right.

BBQ Sauce Meets Nugget Perfection

These new nuggets are bite-sized pieces of boneless chicken breast, and you’ve got options: go classic breaded or keep it lean with grilled. Then Chick-fil-A turns up the flavor by drizzling them in a zesty Smokehouse BBQ Sauce and finishing them off with two dill pickle chips on top, a nod to their iconic sandwich touch.

You can grab them in 5-count, 8-count, or 12-count servings. And while pricing may vary, expect around $5.69 for an 8-piece breaded version and $6.49 for grilled. Not a bad deal for a nugget that’s been upgraded to full flavor-slam status.

Where and When You Can Try Them

Unfortunately, these mouthwatering nuggets are part of a limited-time test, and Chick-fil-A is keeping it local—for now. You’ll only find the Smokehouse BBQ Nuggets in participating St. Louis, Missouri locations from June 30 through August 16, 2025, or until they sell out.

Even better? You can order them for delivery through the Chick-fil-A App or online, making it super easy to skip the line and dig in faster.

Rewards Info: What You Need to Know

Quick heads up for Chick-fil-A One members: While you can’t use your points to redeem these nuggets, you still earn points when you buy them. So yeah, they still count toward your next free sandwich, just not as a reward option yet.

A Saucy Step Forward?

While Chick-fil-A is best known for its sauce-on-the-side policy, this test move might signal something big: pre-sauced nuggets done right. The addition of those dill pickles is a smart twist, bringing a bit of tang to the rich, smoky BBQ.

Whether this test item goes nationwide depends on how well it performs. So if you’re in St. Louis, you know what to do: get out there, grab a box, and let Chick-fil-A know we need these nuggets everywhere.
