What the melt is

The Chicken Salad Melt is your chosen flavor with melted cheddar on top, grilled until the bread crisps. It costs about $9.99 against $8.99 for the cold Chick, and adds roughly 150 calories.

Whether that dollar is well spent depends entirely on which flavor you put in it, and this is where most people get it wrong.

Do not put these in a melt

The rule is simple: anything with fresh or dried fruit should stay cold. Anything savory improves.

Questions about Chicken Salad Melt

How much is the Chicken Salad Melt?

About $9.99 a la carte or $11.79 as a meal with a side and a drink. That is roughly a dollar more than the cold Chick sandwich.

Which chicken salad flavor is best melted?

Savory flavors only. Buffalo Barclay and Kickin' Kay Lynne are the two that improve most — the cheese tempers the heat. Never melt a fruit-based flavor; warm grapes are genuinely unpleasant.

Do Chicken Salad Chick prices vary by location?

Yes, noticeably. Nearly every restaurant is franchise-owned and sets its own menu board prices, so a spread of 10–20% between markets is normal. Third-party delivery apps add another 15–25% on top. Every price on this site is a researched midpoint, not a quote.
