FAQs
Is the potato microwaved?
No. Wendy’s bakes their russet potatoes in convection ovens from raw, which takes about an hour. This ensures a fluffy texture, unlike microwaved versions.
Is it gluten-free?
The ingredients themselves do not contain gluten. However, because Wendy’s cooks many breaded items in the same kitchen, there is a risk of cross-contact.
Can I get it without cheese sauce?
Yes! You can customize your order to have only chili, or swap the cheese sauce for sour cream and chives.
Is the chili the same as in the chili cup or bowl?
Yes. The Chili & Cheese Baked Potato uses the exact same signature Wendy’s Chili con Carne sold in cups and bowls.
How much protein does it have?
This potato is a high-protein side, providing about 20g of protein per serving, thanks mainly to the beef and beans in the chili.
