Chick-fil-A prints no off-menu list, so every build below is an ordinary order placed in particular words. The Chick-fil-A secret menu works because the counter already stocks each part. A spicy filet, a char-grilled patty, Zesty Buffalo Sauce and the strawberry milkshake topping all sit within reach. A team member will assemble them on request.
What a build costs is whatever the base item rings up as, because that is the button the cashier presses. Every row below therefore names its base item first.
The short answer
Order an off-menu Chick-fil-A item by describing the build, not by its nickname. Ask for a Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Zesty Buffalo Sauce rather than a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. The till charges the base item, so every row on the Chick-fil-A secret menu shows what that item carries.

How the Chick-fil-A Secret Menu Works
Nothing here is a separate product. Each build swaps a filet, adds a sauce or drops an ingredient from something already on the board. The Chick-fil-A secret menu therefore changes from one restaurant to the next, depending on what that kitchen runs.
Every row names the menu item the order starts from, and the calorie figure and the price belong to that base item before the swap. A swap changes what arrives, not what the till records. Each base item carries its own price and calorie figure already on the printed menu.
Chick-fil-A Secret Menu Sandwiches
Two of these turn on which filet goes on the bun, fried or char-grilled. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich adds Zesty Buffalo Sauce over the dill pickle chips of a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, changing nothing else. Grilled Cheese takes the chicken off a Deluxe Sandwich altogether, leaving cheese, pickle chips, lettuce and tomato. A patty swap leaves the bun and the toppings as printed, though not every restaurant in the chain stocks one.

Chick-fil-A Secret Menu Drinks and Milkshakes
The freezer and the syrup rack do most of the work here. Icedream, the milkshake toppings and the chocolate syrup sit within reach of the drinks station. Strawberry Lemonade stirs the strawberry topping through a Medium Lemonade, and Root Beer Float drops Icedream into a cup of Barq’s Root Beer. Chocolate Cookies & Cream Milkshake adds a couple of pumps of chocolate syrup on top.

|---|---|---|
| Strawberry Lemonade Lemonade with a scoop of the strawberry milkshake topping stirred through — Medium Lemonade as the base | 260 | $2.69 |

| Chocolate Cookies & Cream Milkshake Cookies & Cream Milkshake with a couple of pumps of chocolate syrup added | 630 | $4.49 |
