❓FAQs
1. Can I swap the Original Tenders for Hot & Crispy Tenders?
In Australia, KFC often only offers the “Tenders” in the Original Recipe style. The spicy boneless option is usually labelled Hot & Crispy™ Boneless (which may have a different coating/shape). You should check with your store, but a direct swap is usually not possible.
2. Why is the fat content (94% DI) so high for this meal?
The high fat content comes from two main sources:
- Deep Frying: The 5 chicken tenders are deep-fried, meaning the breading absorbs a significant amount of cooking oil.
- Dipping Sauce: Sauces like Aioli (mayonnaise-based) contain high levels of fat, which significantly contributes to the overall fat and Kilojoule count.
3. Does the combo come with a specific dipping sauce, or can I choose?
You can typically choose one dipping sauce from the available range, which includes options like Aioli, BBQ, Supercharged (Spicy), Sweet Chilli, Sweet & Sour, or Tomato.4 Choosing a low-fat sauce (like Tomato or BBQ) can reduce the total Kilojoule count.
4. Is the 5 Original Tenders Combo available for delivery?
Yes. The 5 Original Tenders Combo is a standard menu item and is generally available for both pick-up and delivery through the KFC app, website, or third-party delivery services.
5. Why is this called a “Combo” and not a “Box”?
The Combo meals are usually a simpler bundle that includes the main item, chips, and a drink. The Box meals are typically more comprehensive, adding at least Potato & Gravy and often a Dinner Roll or a different chicken side item.
