Aldi Fans Say They’ll ‘Have Chick-fil-A At Home’ This Weekend Thanks To These Copycat Chicken And Waffles Fries

Aldi Finds for the week are here, and if you’re like me you stalk the weekly ad circular each week to find out what incredible deals that are hitting shelves each week. From groceries staples like coffee and meats, to completely-unnecessary-but-totally-fun discoveries like a splash park for summer, there’s always something on the list of new Aldi deals that we need to get our hands on.

And this week is no different. Thanks to Aldi blogger ALDI All The Time, we’ve learned that a giant back of Red Bag Chicken are on sale this week. And if you don’t know this chicken, it’s known by the internet as the essential Aldi find to make their viral Chick-fil-A dupe sandwich. This week, you can actually pair your chicken with waffles fries that are also on sale! We love this combo being on sale together, just in time to save you money on the drive-through this weekend. Here’s everything you need to know:

If you’re a fan of Chick-fil-A but want to save money or avoid frequent dining out, Aldi offers a clever grocery hack. By picking up their Red Bag Chicken, which is known for its striking similarity to Chick-fil-A’s chicken filets, along with Burman’s Chicken Dipping Sauce and their Season’s Choice Waffle Fries, you can recreate a similar meal experience at home. We can’t confirm whether the Chicken Dipping Sauce is on sale this week, but the Season’s Choice Waffle Fries definitely are.

The Red Bag Chicken is known for having a flavorful, crispy coating and juicy interior, like Chick-fil-A’s. Customers say the best way to achieve the copycat taste is to cook it in the air fryer. The jury is out on whether the Chicken Dipping Sauce mimics the taste of Chick-fil-A’s signature tangy and slightly sweet sauce. Some customers say its hits the spot, while others have less than favorable reviews. But if its somewhere in the ballpark, we’d say you should grab a bottle to complement to your meal. Or you can always get Costco’s Kinder’s Dipping Sauce which is a highly-rated secret sauce dupe.

Pair these with Aldi’s perfectly seasoned Waffle Fries for a cost-effective alternative that satisfies your Chick-fil-A cravings without actually having to take a trip to the drive-thru.

We recently discovered the chicken dupe on the page of Aldi deal hunter ALDI All The Time, who posts the weekly circular with a very entertaining over-dub. In her narration, the social media user outlines which Aldi Finds you should buy–and which you should leave on the shelves each week. The Red Bag Chicken and Waffle Fries are found in her recap of the Aldi deals for 5/29, found her:

In the clip, she says that a “giant bag” of the Red Bag Chicken is available in stores this week, “So you can have Chick-fil-A at home.” She adds that thanks to the timing of the waffles fires deal, “You can even have waffles fries with it.” She puts these two deals on her list of Aldi Finds you should buy this week, a major vote of confidence in the quality of the dupe.
