❓FAQs
1. Are the Original Tenders spicy?
No. The Original Tenders are made using the mildly seasoned, classic Original Recipe blend of 11 Herbs and Spices, making them non-spicy. If you prefer a spicy kick, you should choose the Hot & Crispy™ Tenders (if available).
2. Is this item healthier than the bone-in Original Recipe Chicken?
Tenders are generally considered a leaner option because they are made from 100% white breast meat.5 However, since the bone-in chicken figures are based on an average piece (which includes low-fat wings and high-fat thighs), the difference is not always huge. The 3 Tenders offer a higher protein percentage per calorie compared to the average bone-in piece.
3. Does this item come with a dipping sauce?
The standalone 3 Original Tenders™ purchase typically does not include a dipping sauce. However, if you purchase the 3 Original Tenders Combo, a dipping sauce is usually included. Dipping sauces must be purchased separately with this item.
4. Can I swap the Original Tenders for Hot & Crispy™ Tenders?
Yes. Most KFC Australia stores offer the Hot & Crispy™ Tenders as an alternative to the Original Tenders, which uses a different spicy coating. You can usually swap the Original for Hot & Crispy™ at no extra charge or a minimal fee.
5. Are the Original Tenders suitable for someone avoiding bones?
Yes. The Original Tenders are strips of chicken breast fillet and are entirely boneless, making them easy to eat and a popular choice for children and those who prefer not to deal with bones.
