  • Chick-fil-A has revealed its 10 top-selling items in 2018.
  • Waffle fries took the top spot and the chicken sandwich beat out the chicken biscuit.


Chick-fil-A is expected to become the third largest fast-food chain in the US this year in terms of sales, behind only McDonald's and Starbucks.

That's a significant jump from the No. 7 spot that Chick-fil-A held in 2017, when it ranked behind competitors like Taco Bell, Subway, and Wendy's.

Chick-fil-A's explosive growth has been driven largely by the popularity of its famous chicken sandwich, which was the company's third best-selling menu item last year, according to the company.

Here are all the other best sellers in 2018, according to Chick-fil-A:
