Prices vary by franchise location — typically by 10–20% between markets. See the full price list for every item on the menu.
The cheapest thing on the menu
Twenty-five cents for a dill spear. It is the least expensive item Chicken Salad Chick sells, it carries about five calories, and it is included free with most meals at many locations — but sold separately if you want an extra.
Why it is worth the quarter
Chicken salad is rich, mayonnaise-bound and soft. A sharp, cold, crunchy dill spear is the single best 25-cent improvement you can make to that plate, and it works with every flavor on the board. It is particularly good against the heavier options — Sassy Scotty, Cranberry Kelli, anything in a melt.
The Jill Pickle connection
In spring 2026 Chicken Salad Chick ran a limited-time flavor called Jill Pickle, made from chopped versions of this exact dill spear. It ran through May 30, 2026 alongside Spicy Dill Pickle chips and a new Peach Tea, and it is not currently on the menu.
If you liked it, ordering Classic Carol with a couple of pickle spears chopped in at home gets you most of the way there for well under a dollar. Current and retired limited-time flavors are tracked on the flavors guide.
Questions about Pickle Spear
How much is a pickle at Chicken Salad Chick?
$0.25 — the cheapest item on the entire menu. Many locations include one free with a meal; this is the price for an extra.
Is the Jill Pickle flavor still available?
No. It was a limited-time flavor that ran through May 30, 2026. It was made from the same dill spears sold alongside meals. See the flavors guide for what is currently on the board.
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.
