As much as we love a good fast-food menu hack, we love finding ways to stretch out our money even more. No stranger to a fan-created off-menu concoction, Chick-fil-A is once again the star of a viral menu creation where fans are combining the side kale crunch salad with a 5-piece grilled nuggets and zesty buffalo sauce. But at $5.29 for the small kale salad and $4.45 for five nuggets, this fast food hack can add up quickly.
The latest Chick-fil-A menu hack gained popularity online because its a lighter lunchtime option and packs in 23 grams of protein. The good news is you can make a very similar salad at home and all it takes is a trip to Sam’s Club.

Ingredients For The Sam’s Club Chicken Salad
Once you’ve arrived at your local Sam’s Club, you’re going to want to find the Member’s Mark Kale Pasta Salad. This is usually sold in a clear plastic container is the refrigerated section. Each container has about 5 to 6 portions each and costs between $9 and $12 depending on the location. Fans have called it “the best salad ever made,” which lets us know we are already on the right track.
For the chicken bites, any chicken brand will do, but Sam’s Club Reviews recommends either Member’s Mark Grilled Chicken Bites or Rotisserie Chicken Bites. The Grilled Chicken Bites come in a 3-pound bag for $16.98 and the Rotisserie Chicken Bites come in a 2-pound container for $13.98.
To pull everything together, you’ll need a good buffalo sauce. Sam’s Club Reviews recommends @kindersflavors Buttery Buffalo Sauce, but if you have another buffalo sauce that you prefer that will work too. If you pick up the three items in the video, you'll end up spending around $27 for and entire week's worth of lunches.
