Chick-fil-A isn’t going to be happy with this Texas restaurant’s new chicken sandwich

Just in time for Pride, a Dallas bar has gone Chick-full-gay.

Alexandre’s Bar in the Dallas gayborhood of Oak Lawn debuted a new chicken sammie on Sunday to mark Pride in Dallas, and it’s topped with a heap of protest.

The “Chick-fil-gAy” is the creation of Alexandre’s chef Sharina Hassel, who came up with the delicious clapback in response to Chick-fil-A’s well-known, anti-LGBTQ history.

In 2012, the chicken chain’s donations to anti-LGBTQ groups (including groups that support conversion therapy) made headlines, along with CEO Dan Cathy’s claim that “supporting same-sex marriage would invite God’s judgment on the country.” Those donations continued through the 2010’s, despite the company’s pledge to refocus its charitable efforts away from groups like the Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which discriminate against LGBTQ people.

Alexandre’s announced the new Pride-packed entree with an Insta post: “Sunday for Pride In Dallas the Alexandre’s kitchen under the direction of Chef Sharina Hassell will be debuting our pickle-brined chicken sandwich. It’s only available on Sunday, comes with no religious bigotry, and no hate. And don’t worry, our pickles touch. Let’s call this the Chick-fil-gAy.
