Not everyone is a morning person. But early birds do often get the proverbial worm. And soon, the worm is a hot breakfast from Chick-fil-A.

The chain known for its chicken sandwiches is giving away free meals to Triangle customers next week.

Here are the details on the special offer.

How to get free Chick-fil-A breakfast

From Monday, Sept. 8 until Friday, Sept. 12, Chick-fil-A is giving away a complimentary four-count Chick-n-Minis entree.

The offer is valid for one entree per person, while supplies last. There’s no purchase necessary, but customers must order the entree through the Chick-fil-A app during breakfast hours.

Participating Chick-fil-A restaurants in the greater Triangle area are offering the free meal. Find a restaurant at chick-fil-a.com/locations.

The four-count entree cost $4.95 at the Raleigh North Hills location, as of Wednesday, Sept. 3.

“We enjoy finding simple ways to thank our community,” Sammy Culberson, owner-operator of Chick-fil-A Carraway Village in Chapel Hill, said in a news release. “Offering complimentary Chick-n-Minis is just one small way we can show our appreciation and help guests start their mornings off right.”

Saving money on fast food

Chick-fil-A is only providing free Chick-n-Minis to customers who order through the app.

But The News & Observer previously found that diners can save money by ordering through fast-food apps — whether they’re looking for McDonald’s fries, Starbucks coffee or Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunches.
