Chick-Fil-A Hands Out Free Chicken Biscuits For A Limited Time
Heads up, breakfast fans: Chick-fil-A is giving away free Chicken Biscuits for a limited time, and it’s easier to snag than you think. If you’re a Chick-fil-A One member, new or existing, your freebie is waiting in the app.
No purchase is required, just a quick claim and a morning visit. Keep reading so you do not miss the exact dates, the breakfast-only cutoff, and the fine print that trips people up.
1. What exactly is free
The freebie is the classic Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit, not a pick-any-breakfast reward. You are getting their signature seasoned, hand-breaded chicken breast nestled inside a warm buttermilk biscuit.
It is the one everyone pictures when they think Chick-fil-A breakfast.
There is no purchase required. The offer is tied to your Chick-fil-A One account, new or existing, so you can sign up and claim it right away.
Just remember it is specifically the Chicken Biscuit, not minis, not a combo, and not a coffee add-on.
2. Where and when to claim
The claim and redeem window runs Tuesday, February 17, 2026 through Saturday, February 28, 2026. It is redeemable only during breakfast hours at participating locations.
There is a hard cutoff of 10:30 a.m. local time on February 28.
If you show up after breakfast, the reward will not work. Even if the offer still appears in the app later that day, it is locked to breakfast hours.
Plan a morning visit, set a reminder, and give yourself buffer time, especially on that final Saturday.
3. Who qualifies
This giveaway is nationwide for Chick-fil-A One members, both new and existing. If you do not have an account, sign up in minutes and the reward should populate automatically.
Existing members should see it under My Rewards without doing anything extra.
No purchase is required to claim or redeem. The offer is limited to one free Chicken Biscuit per account or guest.
If multiple people in your group want one, each person needs their own account and reward showing in their app.
4. How to get it in the app
Open the Chick-fil-A app, sign in or create an account, and head to My Rewards. The free Chicken Biscuit should appear there during the promo window.
Tap it to add to a mobile order, or save it for scanning in person.
You can redeem by placing a mobile order in-app, selecting breakfast, and applying the reward at checkout. Or scan your app at the counter or drive-thru and ask them to apply the reward.
Either way, it must be during breakfast hours to process successfully.
5. Breakfast hours and the 10:30 a.m. cutoff
Breakfast hours vary by location, but the universal rule still applies. The system will not allow redemption outside breakfast hours.
That includes a firm 10:30 a.m. local cutoff on Saturday, February 28.
If you try at 10:31 a.m., the reward will not scan, even if it still appears in your app. Do yourself a favor and aim for earlier in the morning.
Lines can spike near the cutoff, so arrive with cushion time and mobile order ahead if possible.
6. Common mistakes to avoid
Do not wait until after breakfast hours to redeem. The reward will not work and cannot be overridden.
Do not assume it covers minis, combos, or beverages, because it is the Chicken Biscuit only.
Do not try to use one account for multiple biscuits. It is one per account or guest.
Also, double-check your app region and store availability before heading out. Finally, confirm the reward is applied at checkout in the app, or tell the team member before they ring you up.
7. Quick plan for a smooth freebie run
Set a morning alarm and pick a nearby Chick-fil-A that shows breakfast hours in the app. Open My Rewards, confirm the Chicken Biscuit offer is visible, and start a mobile order to lock in timing.
Choose a pickup method you prefer.
Arrive with a few minutes to spare before 10:30 a.m. On site, verify the reward is applied before paying or scanning.
If the line is long, mobile order pickup can save time. Enjoy the biscuit fresh, and share the tip so friends can grab theirs too.
8. The fine print people miss
Small rules trip people up. The offer ties to participating locations only, so check your app for the banner before driving.
Rewards can disappear early if a store hits allocation, and substitutes are rarely allowed. No combining with other breakfast promos, and taxes or add-ons are not covered.
If your biscuit usually comes with honey butter, that upgrade is extra.
Redeem by placing a mobile order in-app or scanning your app at the restaurant. One free biscuit per account or guest.
If you try after breakfast hours, it will not work, even if the reward still shows later that day.
9. One free biscuit per account or guest
Plan assuming a strict one-per-account or guest rule. If you want multiple biscuits, each person needs their own logged-in app or a separate scan at checkout.
Do not try to split one order to stack freebies. Staff have to follow system prompts, and managers will not override limits.
For families, line up devices before you arrive. Add each biscuit as a separate reward in each account, then pay together only after scanning individually.
If you are hosting coworkers, ask them to share QR codes ahead of time. It keeps the line moving and everyone gets fed.
10. If you try after breakfast hours, it will not work, even if the reward still shows in the app later that day
The breakfast cutoff is hard-coded. After the grill flips to lunch, the system blocks breakfast redemptions, even if the tile is still visible in your rewards.
Visibility does not equal availability. That lingering icon confuses people, but staff cannot push it through once lunch starts.
Beat the clock by ordering in-app before the cutoff. Mobile orders must be submitted, not just built, while breakfast is active.
If you miss it, try another participating location still serving breakfast due to time zone or posted hours. Otherwise, save the trip and set a reminder for tomorrow.
