Chicken Salad Chick Regular Chips

The regular chips — plain sea salt — are the default bag at Chicken Salad Chick and the one most people take without thinking about it. At around $1.79 and roughly 210 calories, they sit in the middle of the chip range.

Price and calories against the alternatives

Two things stand out. Baked Lay's Original at around 125 calories is meaningfully lighter than the regular bag for the same money. And BBQ at around 395 is nearly double the regular — a difference most people would never guess from looking at the two bags.

Chips as your included side

Every meal at Chicken Salad Chick includes one side, and chips qualify. But it is worth knowing what you are passing up:

The prepared sides are, for the most part, both lighter and more interesting than a bag of crisps. If you are ordering chips out of habit rather than preference, the sides guide is worth two minutes.

Chips versus crackers

If you order a scoop rather than a sandwich, it usually arrives with crackers at around 60–130 calories rather than chips. Those are included and do not count as your side, which means a Scoop Meal effectively gives you crackers and a side. Worth knowing — it is one of the small quirks of how this menu is put together, covered further on the portion size guide.
