FAQs
Is the Zinger Crunch Bowl healthier than a Zinger Burger?
Yes. The Zinger Crunch Bowl has fewer kilojoules (1,603 kJ) than a regular Zinger Burger (1,888 kJ) and a Zinger Burger Combo (about 3,079 kJ or more).
This is because the bowl uses slaw instead of a bun and chips, so it has fewer carbs and less energy.
Can I order the bowl without Jalapeño Mayo?
Yes. You can ask for no sauce or have it on the side. This will make the bowl even lower in fat, sodium, and calories.
What is the difference between the Zinger Crunch Bowl and the Original Tenders Crunch Bowl?
It’s mainly the chicken and sauce:
- Zinger Crunch Bowl: Spicy Zinger chicken + Jalapeño Mayo
- Original Tenders Crunch Bowl: Mild Original Recipe Tenders + Pepper Mayo
Are the Zinger chicken pieces full-sized tenders?
Not usually. The chicken is cut into smaller pieces so it is easier to eat and mix with the slaw and corn chips.
Why does the bowl have a surprising amount of sugar?
Most of the sugar comes from:
- The slaw dressing (often sweetened)
- The sauces, which include a little sugar to balance the taste
