Zaxby's Menu Prices 2026: Chicken Fingerz, Wings & Zalads

The Chicken Finger Plate (4-pc) is around $10.99 at most Zaxby's locations as of May 2026, with the 5-pc Plate around $12.49 and the 6-pc Plate around $13.99. Every Plate comes with Crinkle Fries, Texas Toast, Cole Slaw, Zax Sauce and a regular drink. Pricing is set per franchisee, so Southeast markets often run a touch below national average and high-cost metros (Northeast, West Coast) tend to run a dollar or two higher.

Zax Sauce is Zaxby's signature dipping sauce — a smoky, sweet-and-savory blend often described as a peppery cross between thousand island and ranch. It comes free with most meals (one cup per Plate) and is the default dip for Chicken Fingerz. Zaxby's also sells a 16-oz retail bottle for around $1.99 at most stores, plus full-size bottles in select grocery chains across the Southeast.

On individual sandwiches Chick-fil-A is slightly cheaper (Original Chicken Sandwich ~$5.25 vs. Zaxby's Signature Sandwich ~$6.49), but on the Chicken Fingerz Plate category Zaxby's is a strong value: a 4-pc Plate ($10.99) includes Fingerz, Crinkle Fries, Texas Toast, Slaw, sauce and a drink — a build Chick-fil-A doesn't directly offer. The 8-pc Chick-fil-A Nuggets Meal lands around $9.99 without slaw or toast. Net: Chick-fil-A wins on the sandwich line; Zaxby's wins on the tenders/Plate combo.

A Zalad is Zaxby's substantial chicken salad — a category, not a single item. The flagship Cobb Zalad ($11.99) layers hand-breaded or grilled chicken over greens with bacon, hard-boiled egg, shredded cheese, tomatoes and croutons, served with Texas Toast and Ranch. Other Zalads include the House ($10.49), Buffalo Chicken ($11.99), Caesar ($10.99) and the vegetarian Garden Zalad ($8.49, no chicken).

Zaxby's heat ladder, from mildest to fieriest: Wimpy (mild buffalo), Tongue Torch (medium signature heat — the most-ordered wing sauce), Hot Honey Mustard (sweet/spicy crossover), Insane (extra-spicy habanero-forward) and, in limited windows, Nuclear (top of the ladder). Wimpy and Tongue Torch are the two most-ordered wing sauces. All sauces come free with combos.

Zaxby's operates roughly 950 restaurants in 17 U.S. states, concentrated in the Southeast — Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, Mississippi and Virginia, with growing presence in Texas, Kentucky and the Mid-Atlantic. The chain was founded in 1990 in Statesboro, Georgia and is headquartered in Athens, Georgia. Use the official store locator on zaxbys.com for the nearest store.

Yes. Texas Toast comes free with virtually every combo at Zaxby's — every Chicken Finger Plate, every Wings & Things combo, every Zalad, every sandwich meal. It's a buttery, thick-cut, lightly griddled bread slice and is arguably as much a signature item as the Zax Sauce itself. Extra Texas Toast can be added for a small upcharge in most markets.

The Big Zax Snak Meal is $8.49 and includes 4 Chicken Fingerz, Crinkle Fries, Texas Toast, Zax Sauce and a regular drink. It's Zaxby's entry-level Chicken Fingerz combo — same Fingerz as a 4-pc Plate but without the Cole Slaw — and represents the chain's best per-dollar value at the bottom of the menu.

Both. Zaxby's serves Boneless Wings (breaded boneless-chicken bites tossed in sauce — closer to nugget-style) and Traditional Wings (true bone-in chicken wings). Boneless start at $7.49 for a 5-pc; Traditional at $8.99 for a 5-pc. Both are available in 5, 10 and 20-piece counts and in 7+ sauce flavors (Zax Sauce, Tongue Torch, Wimpy, Insane, Honey Mustard, Hot Honey Mustard, Teriyaki and more).
