    Anyone else always read it as chick-fillah? It’s such a stupid spelling.

      How’s it meant to be pronounced? I’ve only ever seen it written down.

      Chick feeler? Chick filler? Chick fill urgh Chick fill Ah

      I just don’t understand what they’re trying to call it. Unless it is “filler”, my best guess is something like “fillet”, though I can’t make the letters match up with the words.

        Chick-Fil-A is pronounced Chick-fuh-lay. It is like Chick-Filet, but the American pronunciation of filet (and what I would assume the proper French pronunciation – the ‘t’ is silent).

          Ah, okay - so the “A” is pronounced like the letter “A”, with the “feelay” bit like when McDonalds used to do “filet o’fish”?

        That’s how they want it to be pronounced, so success I guess.
