If you haven’t eaten at Zaxby’s, you’re missing out — especially if chicken fingers are your go-to comfort food. A look at the fast-food chain’s menu reveals everything from chicken tenders and wings to coleslaw and fried pickles, so we sought out to rank Zaxby’s most popular items. Out of the 12 options our taste tester ordered and chowed down on, the result was that those aforementioned chicken fingers are the downright best option for your next drive-thru lunch or dinner.
There are a few reasons why you should try Zaxby’s Chicken Fingerz (yes, that’s how the chain spells it). This might not be a surprising result since the chain is known for these Chicken Fingerz, which are used on its sandwiches and salads too. To start, the breading on the chicken is well seasoned but doesn’t overpower the meat. Additionally, the tenders were moist inside, an important factor with fried chicken. Another perk, especially when you want Zaxby’s for takeout, is that the tenders travel well and don’t turn soggy on the way home.

Some even claim the Georgia-based chain slings some of the best fast food chicken strips you can grab. This makes a lot of sense, considering the chicken is hand-breaded, so each bite should be fresh and not frozen. Then, each batch of Chicken Fingerz is fried in highly refined soybean oil, according to Zaxby’s take-out menu. You can also get the chicken tossed in sauce if you don’t like plain fingers.
