FAQs
Are Wendy’s chicken tenders real chicken?

No, the standard tenders are mild and savory. You can sometimes get a spicy version or toss them in hot sauces like Buffalo or Spicy BBQ.

Usually no. The Biggie Bag comes with 4-piece Nuggets. Tenders are sold as a separate item or in their own combo.
Are the tenders dairy-free?
