Signature Sandwich
This is the classic choice: a crispy fried fillet with the house Zax Sauce, or Spicy Zax Sauce if you want a little heat. It comes to 600 calories with Zax Sauce and 590 with the spicy version. If you like the dipping sauce that comes with Chicken Fingerz, this is the sandwich that tastes most like it.
Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich
The Kickin’ is the spicy option. It pairs a fried fillet with ranch, so the heat is balanced by something cool. At 690 calories it is the heaviest of the single sandwiches. Choose it if the Signature feels too mild.
Grilled Chicken Sandwich
The Grilled Chicken Sandwich swaps the breading for a grilled breast. It lists 620 calories and 38 g of protein. Grilled is not the same as allergen free, so check its row in the allergen menu before you order. For more lighter ideas, see healthy options at Zaxbys.
Nibblerz
Nibblerz are small sandwiches made with Chicken Fingerz on toasted rolls. One order comes to 960 calories, which makes it the biggest sandwich order here. They are a good pick if you like the Fingerz texture but want something you can hold.
- Nibblerz: Mini Chicken Fingerz sandwiches on toasted rolls. Sandwiches only. 960 calories; allergens: milk, egg, wheat, soy, msg, gluten; example price $11.39.
