FAQs
❓ Do the Crispy Chicken Tenders contain any seafood allergens?
The chicken tenders themselves do not contain seafood. However, they are fried in the same oil used for seafood items, so there is a high chance of cross-contamination. Anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy should avoid this item.
❓ What kind of dipping sauce comes with the chicken tenders?
They normally come with Honey Mustard. You can ask for other sauces like Ranch, BBQ, or even Cocktail Sauce if you prefer.
❓ How many chicken tenders come in the entrée?
Most Red Lobster locations serve about 4–6 large hand-breaded tenders, depending on the size of the pieces. The entrée also includes two sides.
❓ Can I order the chicken tenders grilled instead of fried?
The Crispy Chicken Tenders are only offered fried. But many locations do offer a separate Grilled Chicken dinner or other dishes that include grilled chicken if you want a lighter option.
❓ Do the 950 calories include the Cheddar Bay Biscuits?
No. The 950 calories apply only to the Crispy Chicken Tenders entrée and its included sauces. Cheddar Bay Biscuits are separate and add around 150–160 calories each.
