Calories and nutrition by listed serving — US menu
| Item | Serving | Calories (kcal) | Total fat (g) | Sodium (mg) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Chicken Sandwich | 1 sandwich | 700 | 42 | 1440 | 50 | 28 |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | 1 sandwich | 700 | 42 | 1470 | 50 | 28 |
| Classic or Spicy Tenders | 3 pieces | 390 | 19 | 1700 | 25 | 35 |
| Blackened Tenders | 3 pieces | 170 | 6 | 860 | 2 | 28 |

Classic and Spicy sandwich calories match, but panels differ
Both sandwiches list 700 calories, 28 g protein and 42 g fat. Their sodium entries differ: 1,440 mg for Classic and 1,470 mg for Spicy. Equal calories do not mean that every nutrient or ingredient is identical.
Use the sandwich row for one sandwich, not a chicken breast from the bone-in section. Those are different prepared products. The September 2026 guide is the edition used here, with sides and sauces kept separate from the sandwich itself.
Three tenders means one listed three-piece portion
Classic or spicy tenders are listed at 390 calories per three pieces. The blackened three-piece portion is 170 with 28 g protein. The difference is 220 calories for those two specified preparations; it is not a universal adjustment for removing breading from any chicken product.
A classic three-piece portion plus regular Cajun Fries calculates to 660 calories before a dip or drink. Blackened tenders plus the same fries calculate to 440. The 390-calorie tender row should not be multiplied by three again.
Keep sides and sauces visible in the meal total
A Classic Chicken Sandwich, regular Cajun Fries and a biscuit calculate to 1,200 calories from the selected individual rows. A drink or dipping sauce would add its own contribution. Large fries require the large serving’s listing, not the regular row.
The reference describes standard US products. Assembly, portion and availability can vary, and a limited-time product may need another source. Photo logging is convenient for capturing the meal, but check the number of tenders, side size and sauce cups before saving.
