❓FAQs

1. Is the Original Tenders Combo spicy?

No. The Original Tenders™ are coated in the mild Original Recipe seasoning, making this a non-spicy chicken option. If you prefer heat, you would need to choose the Supercharged Dip or Wicked Wings Combo.

2. Can I choose any dipping sauce?

Yes. The combo includes one dipping sauce of your choice. Options typically include Tomato, BBQ, Sweet Chilli, Supercharged (spicy), Sweet & Sour, and Aioli.6 The choice of sauce significantly impacts the final energy content (kJ/Calorie).

3. Is there a Hot & Crispy™ Tenders Combo?

While KFC Australia primarily markets the boneless strips as Original Tenders™, they occasionally run limited-time offers (LTOs) featuring a spicy or “Hot & Crispy” boneless item.7 However, the Original Tenders Combo is the standard boneless combo.

4. Why is the total sodium intake lower than the 3 Piece Combo?

The sodium intake is lower (approx. 1,319 mg) compared to the 3 Piece Combo (approx.1,878 mg) primarily because the Tenders are cut from the breast fillet and contain less fat, skin, and bone content than the bone-in chicken pieces, resulting in less sodium from the coating/seasoning per serving.

5. Can I upgrade the Regular Chips to a larger size?

Yes. Most KFC stores allow you to upgrade the Regular Chips to a Large size and the Regular Drink to a Large size or a bottled drink for an additional fee per upgrade.
