Chick-fil-A restaurants all over the country need to gear up for an influx of people requesting a particular combination of food, as well as an empty salad bowl on the side thanks to one of their employees and TikTok food reviewer Keith Lee.
A video posted by BabyDoll26, a Chick-fil-A employee, caught the attention of viral food critic Lee, who stitched the video and tried her hack. Of course, this started a trend and now tons of TikTokers are stitching the video after heading to their local Chick-fil-A to get the food needed.
Keith Lee Stitched TikToker BabyDoll26's Viral Chick-Fil-A Hack Video
She starts her video by showing the necessary ingredients - an empty salad container with lid, french fries, macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, a side of ranch and packet of honey roasted BBQ sauce. Add all ingredients into the empty salad bowl, put the lid on, and shake, shake, shake. See video HERE.
In a follow up video, she shows the finished shaken product, along with her drink choice, a strawberry lemonade.
Lee stitched the video making the dish the same way she did with the exception of forgetting to ask for an empty salad container, so he used a regular mixing bowl from home. "I got it. Let's try it and rate it one to 10," he began his video.
"I got a strawberry frosted lemonade for the drink. Now the frosted lemonade is delicious. It's lemonade with ice cream, basically. Well, at least that's what I think it is." After taking a sip of the drink, he rated it an 8.5 out of 10.
"I completely failed to realize you had to ask for your own salad bowl on the side. So, I just got a mixing bowl," he explained. "Fries, mac and cheese, 12-piece nugget."
Before adding the ranch, he included a little piece of advice to help make it easier to get the ranch out of the container and into the bowl. "Fun fact, if you shake up a Chick-fil-A sauce, it'll pout out easier; rather than if you take it straight out the package," he explained as he demonstrated the difference. After adding the honey roasted BBQ sauce, he mixed it up and got ready to dig in.
"This got some people in a chokehold," he said before taking his first bite. "Let's see what it's hitting for." After trying it out, he made that face that let's everyone know he's loving the food he's trying. After a few more bites, he rates it a 9.5 out of 10.
To end his video, he gets up with his mixing bowl full of food and says, "God bless you guys. You have an amazing day. This slap!"
Tons of Comments And Stitches Followed Keith Lee's Review
BabyDoll26's original video got more than 26.8 million views since she posted it at the end of January. Lee's stitch got 17.7 million in the past two days. Many of his followers took to the comment section to leave their thoughts on the Chick-fil-A hack.
"Pulling up like 'can I get that Keith Lee,'" one person wrote. Another added, "Good luck chic fil a workers."
Lee posted the video on Saturday night and many hilariously commented that the timing wasn't the best. "I’m a pregnant woman seeing this on a SUNDAY. THIS IS TORTURE 😭😭," one follower said. "You’re posting this today when they’re closed tomorrow," said another. And another follower added, "Bro had to drop THIS video on Sunday so their line isn’t crazy tomorrow 😭."
A quick search on TikTok for "Keith Lee Chick-fil-A" pops up tons of stitches from other TikTokers trying out the hack. The big question here is, did anyone warn Chick-fil-A's around the country that they are about to be busier than ever thanks to TikTok?
