Chick-fil-A Heart Shaped Nugget Trays Are Back — How to Get 'Em

Listen, Chick-fil-A chicken is already super romantic, but dress it up in a heart-shaped tray? Swoon.

There are all kinds of heart-shaped foods you can get around the Valentine’s Day holiday (including heart-shaped pizza), but there’s only one offer that’s a container for fried chicken.

Once a year, you can get a number of Chick-fil-A’s menu items in their festive holiday tray. Best of all? You don’t have to pay full price for them with our tricks — and you can easily get them delivered for free. We’ll tell you when the Chick-fil-A heart-shaped Valentine’s Day trays are available and what you can get in them.

If the thought of food gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling, you should check out all of our Valentine’s Day freebies.

Here’s what you need to know:

You can get four different menu items served in Chick-fil-A heart trays.

They’re spreading the love around. First, the heart tray was only for chicken nuggets. You can get the following menu items in a heart-shaped tray from late January through Feb. 25 while supplies last (prices may vary by location):

• Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets (30 ct), $16.19
• Chick-n-Minis (10 ct), $11.09
• Chocolate Chunk Cookies (6 ct), $8.69
• Chocolate Fudge Brownie halves (12 ct), $12.90

Chick-fil-A heart trays are available from late January to late February.

Starting in 2023, it looks like Valentine’s Day trays will be available at Chick-fil-A a little bit longer. Instead of a hard cutoff after Valentine’s Day, the heart-shaped trays will be sold through Friday, Feb. 25 — while supplies last. Like every year, though, they went on sale near the end of January, on Jan. 23, 2023. Look for a similar pattern every year.

There’s no upcharge (or discount) for buying the heart trays.

Each of the four menu items included in the heart trays during Valentine’s Day cost the exact same as those items’ regular non-heart prices.

While you can enjoy some savings buying larger quantities of these menu items, it’s pretty minimal:

• A 30-count of Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets in a heart tray costs $0.54/nugget, while a 5-count costs $0.59/nugget and an 8-count costs $0.58/nugget.
• Chick-n-Minis cost $1.11/mini for 10 in a heart tray, the same price per mini as a 4-count. (The best price available is when you order 40 minis at $0.95 each.)
• Six Chocolate Chunk Cookies in a heart tray cost $1.39/cookie, just under the individual price of $1.49/cookie.
• Chocolate Fudge Brownies cost around $2.09 per piece, regardless of how many you order.

Sadly, these trays aren’t available to order online or in the Chick-fil-A app.

Earn Chick-fil-A points on your Valentine’s Day order to get freebies later.

Members of Chick-fil-A’s free loyalty program, Chick-fil-A One, earn at least 10 points for every $1 spent at the restaurant.

You’ll earn around 140 points when you buy the 30-count of nuggets in the heart tray. Spend another dollar and you’ll have 150 points — enough to get a free Chocolate Chunk Cookie, Hash Browns, or Kids IceDream Cup next time you visit.
