Signature Zax Snak Meals
SIGNATUREThe Big Zax Snak Meal is the order that built Zaxby's reputation, and it is still the single most ordered item on the menu. Everything in this section comes with Texas toast, Crinkle Fries or a side, and a drink, plus the Zax Sauce that regulars insist makes the chicken.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Big Zax Snak Meal~1,180 calFive chicken fingerz, Texas toast, crinkle fries, and a large drink, with Zax Sauce. The order most Zaxby's regulars default to without reading the rest of the menu. | $8.99 |
| Zax Snak Meal~980 calThree chicken fingerz with Texas toast, crinkle fries, and a drink. The smaller sibling of the Big Zax Snak, still a full meal for under eight dollars. | $7.79 |
| Kickin' Chicken Sandwich Meal~1,050 calFried chicken breast sandwich with Zax Sauce, Texas toast bun, fries, and a drink. The sandwich Zaxby's built its fast food identity around. | $9.49 |
| Grilled Kickin' Chicken Sandwich Meal~680 calThe grilled version of the Kickin' Chicken, roughly 370 fewer calories than fried with the same Zax Sauce. The go-to for anyone eating carefully at Zaxby's. | $9.49 |
| Dip'n Chick'n Meal~1,020 calNashville hot-style tenders dipped in a spicy glaze, served with fries, Texas toast, and a drink. The genuine heat option on the menu. | $8.99 |
Zalads
SALADSZaxby's salads carry real portions of fried or grilled chicken, which means the calorie count depends heavily on which protein and dressing you pick. The House Zalad with grilled chicken and light dressing is the lightest full meal on the entire menu; loaded up with fried chicken and ranch, it stops being a diet option fast.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| House Zalad (Grilled)~380 calGrilled chicken over mixed greens with tomato, cheese, and croutons. Without a heavy dressing this is the lightest full meal at Zaxby's by a wide margin. | $8.99 |
| House Zalad (Fried)~640 calSame salad with crispy fried chicken tenders instead of grilled. Still lighter than most of the fried entrees on the menu. | $8.99 |
| Cobb Zalad (Grilled)~520 calGrilled chicken with bacon, egg, blue cheese crumbles, and tomato over greens. The heartiest of the lighter salad options. | $9.49 |
| Cobb Zalad (Fried)~780 calThe Cobb with crispy chicken instead of grilled. Bacon and blue cheese already push the calories up before the fried protein. | $9.49 |
Sandwiches
SANDWICHESBeyond the Kickin' Chicken, Zaxby's runs a small but focused sandwich lineup. All of them sit on the same Texas toast-style bun and lean on Zax Sauce as the connective tissue across the menu.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Kickin' Chicken Sandwich (Single)~720 calFried chicken breast with Zax Sauce, pickles, and Texas toast bun, sold on its own without the meal sides. | $6.49 |
| Grilled Kickin' Chicken Sandwich (Single)~450 calThe grilled version sold solo. About 270 calories lighter than the fried single sandwich. | $6.49 |
| Spicy Kickin' Chicken Sandwich~760 calThe fried sandwich with a spicy Zax Sauce variant and pepper jack. More heat than the standard version without going full Nashville hot. | $6.99 |
Wings and Boneless Wings
WINGSTraditional bone-in wings and boneless wings both come in count-based orders, tossed in your choice of sauce from mild to genuinely hot. The Sweet & Spicy Asian Zing and Insane sauces are the two flavors regulars argue about most.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Traditional Wings (8 pc)~640 calBone-in wings tossed in your choice of sauce. Eight pieces is the standard order size for one person. | $9.99 |
| Traditional Wings (16 pc)~1,280 calDouble the eight-piece order, built for sharing or serious appetites. Mix two sauces at this size. | $17.99 |
| Boneless Wings (8 pc)~720 calBreaded boneless wing pieces in your choice of sauce. The easier-to-eat alternative to traditional bone-in. | $8.99 |
| Boneless Wings (16 pc)~1,440 calThe full 16-piece boneless order for sharing. Comes with room to pick two different sauces. | $15.99 |
Zappetizers and Sides
STARTERSFried pickles and mozzarella sticks lead the starter menu, while Crinkle Fries, Texas Toast, and Coleslaw round out the sides most combos are built around. Portion sizes here matter for calorie tracking since sides get bundled invisibly into every meal price.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Fried Pickles~540 calBreaded and fried pickle spears served with ranch. The starter most tables order without being asked twice. | $5.49 |
| Mozzarella Stix~620 calSix breaded mozzarella sticks with marinara. Standard fried mozzarella done reliably. | $5.99 |
| Crinkle Fries~450 calThe default side in nearly every combo meal. Crinkle-cut, seasoned, and included in most meal prices already. | $2.99 |
| Texas Toast~150 calButtered grilled toast, included with most meals or sold on its own. | $1.49 |
| Coleslaw~170 calThe lighter side swap for anyone skipping the crinkle fries. | $2.49 |
| Texas Toast Zensation~680 calLoaded Texas toast with chicken and cheese piled on top, closer to a snack plate than a plain side. | $5.99 |
Nibblerz and Kids Menu
KIDSThe kids menu runs under seven dollars and includes a drink and a side, with Nibblerz (mini chicken bites) as the signature kids order. Portions are genuinely kid-sized, not just smaller adult meals with a lower price stapled on.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Kids Nibblerz Meal~480 calMini chicken tender pieces with a side, Texas toast, and a drink. The kids order built specifically for smaller appetites. | $5.99 |
| Kids Chicken Fingerz Meal~520 calOne chicken fingerz strip with a side and drink, the smallest full combo on the menu. | $5.99 |
| Kids Grilled Chicken Meal~340 calA grilled chicken portion with a side and drink. The lightest kids option on the menu. | $5.99 |
Family Packs
FAMILY MEALSFamily packs are priced to feed a household without individually pricing five separate combos. They come with fries or a side, Texas toast, and enough chicken to split across a table.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Family Pack (5 Chicken Fingerz Meals)Serves 4-5Five full chicken fingerz meals bundled together with sides and toast. Runs noticeably cheaper per person than ordering five separate combos. | $34.99 |
| Big Zax Snak Family PackServes 4-5The Big Zax Snak Meal scaled for the table, extra chicken and extra fries included. The upgrade pick for a hungrier family. | $39.99 |
| Wing Family Pack (20 pc)Serves 4-5Twenty wings with fries and toast for the table, available in any sauce combination. | $21.99 |
Sauces Ranked
SAUCESZax Sauce is the house sauce that shows up in almost every combo by default, but the wing sauce lineup is where Zaxby's actually differentiates itself. Here is how the core lineup breaks down by heat and popularity.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Zax Sauce~140 cal per servingThe house sauce on nearly everything. Tangy, slightly sweet, and the reason regulars ask for extra cups. | Included |
| Sweet & Spicy Asian Zing~120 cal per servingA sticky sweet-heat glaze, the most requested wing sauce after plain Zax Sauce. | Included with wings |
| Insane Sauce~90 cal per servingThe hottest standard option on the sauce list. Order this only if you actually want heat, not just the idea of heat. | Included with wings |
| Teriyaki~110 cal per servingA milder sweet option for anyone at the table skipping spice entirely. | Included with wings |
Zaxby's vs Chick-fil-A: The Real Comparison
The comparison people actually search for. Chick-fil-A wins on speed and consistency across locations.Zaxby's wins on sauce variety, wing options, and the fact that a Big Zax Snak Meal at $8.99 gets you five chicken fingerz plus Texas toast and fries, a bigger combo footprint than Chick-fil-A offers at a similar price point. Neither chain does breakfast, so this comparison lives entirely at lunch and dinner.
How to Order at Zaxby's Like a Regular
Start with the Big Zax Snak Meal
At $8.99 it is the benchmark order for a reason: five chicken fingerz, Texas toast, crinkle fries, and a drink. Compare everything else on the menu against this before deciding you want something different.
Go grilled if calories matter
The Grilled Kickin' Chicken Sandwich cuts roughly 270 calories off the fried version while keeping the same Zax Sauce. The House Zalad with grilled chicken is the lightest full meal on the entire menu at around 380 calories.
Ask for extra Zax Sauce
It comes standard with most combos but the portion is small. Extra cups are cheap and most regulars order at least two per meal.
Mix sauces on a 16-piece wing order
At 16 pieces you have enough wings to split between two sauces. Sweet & Spicy Asian Zing and Insane Sauce is the classic pairing for a table that wants both mild and hot.
Do the math on family packs before ordering individually
The 5 Chicken Fingerz Family Pack at $34.99 beats ordering five separate Zax Snak Meals once you add up the individual combo prices. Worth checking before defaulting to single meals for a group.
Boneless over traditional if you are eating in the car
Boneless wings at $8.99 for 8 pieces are easier to eat one-handed than bone-in traditional wings, and they are a dollar cheaper at the same count.

About Zaxby's — 2026 Overview
Zaxby's started in Statesboro, Georgia in 1990 and has grown into a chain of over 900 locations concentrated across the Southeast, with expansion pushing steadily into new states each year. The brand built its identity on hand-breaded chicken fingerz, a house Zax Sauce nobody else quite replicates, and a menu structure organized around meal-sized combos rather than a la carte pricing.
Unlike many fast food chicken chains, Zaxby's treats wings as a core menu category rather than a side addition, running both traditional and boneless formats across multiple sauce options. The Zalads line, added later, extended the menu into a genuine lighter-meal category without dropping the chicken-forward identity of the brand.
On value, the Big Zax Snak Meal at $8.99 remains the anchor of the menu and the most searched item by a wide margin. Family Packs extend that value logic to groups, running noticeably cheaper per person than ordering individual combos when feeding four or more people.
The menu in 2026 spans over 32 items across 8 categories, from signature Zax Snak meals through wings, Zalads, sandwiches, family packs, and a full sauce lineup. Regional growth outside the Southeast has made "how much is Zaxby's" one of the fastest-growing search queries in the fast food menu category.
