Chick-fil-Afans are up in arms after the fast food chain recently changed the recipe for its famous waffle fries.

“We know Chick-fil-A fans love our Waffle Potato Fries.
According to Chick-fil-A, the new crispier coating is made from pea starch, and customers are appalled.
Now they’re just like all the others with their crisp.

And they get colder 2x faster too,” one unhappy Redditorsaid.
“I noticed the change and don’t like it.
To me they taste more stale and crunchy.

I didn’t have an issue with the old fries getting soggy.
They were crispy when hot,” said another.
“CFA I love you more than anyone.
you’re free to do no wrong.
hey put them back ,” influencer Daryl-Ann Denner said.
“c’mon go back to the original fries.
My daughter has an allergy to peas and pea protein.
“The addition of pea starch/protein was a poor choice!
Now my 4 yo can’t come to you bc she’s allergic,” another parent shared.
“Your new fries are terrible.
I can’t even eat them anymore and they were my favorite thing.
yo go back! "
“You know, I noticed recently that their fries have been a lot better.
I just thought I was getting lucky.
Seems like a positive change,” one Redditorsaid.
“I said the same thing.
They have been crispier than ever.
I thought they finally started frying them enough lol,” another agreed.
But this makes sense, because those fries were significantly crispier than what I’m used to at Chick-fil-A.
I normally get chips instead because I didn’t like their fries.
