CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chick-fil-A is slimming down for the New Year as part of its first seasonal menu experiment of 2020.

The Atlanta-based chicken chain said it will test a “modified menu” starting Jan. 13 at some Charlotte-area and Arizona restaurants that removes a handful of notable offerings.

Among the experimental menu cuts: the breakfast sausage, original chicken strips, side salad and decaf coffee. The participating restaurants will also limit some items to only one size — e.g. just five-count kids’ nugget meal, small “Icedream” cones and small coffees.

Chick-fil-A said the marketwide test also includes adding three spicy entrées — spicy chick-n-strips, a spicy chick-n-strip biscuit and the grilled spicy chicken deluxe — to participating restaurants in Charlotte.
