Searching for the Zaxbys secret menu? Zaxbys has no official secret menu, but these menu hacks use options that are already on the menu, so you can ask for them without confusing the staff.
Quick answers
- Does Zaxbys have a secret menu?
- No. Zaxbys has no official secret menu. Fan “secret menu” items are just customizations of regular items.
- What’s the easiest Zaxbys hack?
- Ask for your sauce on the side, or try two sauces with one order.
- Can I add a dry rub to anything?
- Dry rubs can be added to Fingerz, wings and more since they became permanent in February 2026. Availability may vary.
Is there a Zaxbys secret menu?
You’ll see “secret menu” lists online, but none of them come from Zaxbys. Staff may not recognize made-up names, and some ideas use items that no longer exist. Every hack below uses a regular menu option. Each one is something you can ask for; restaurants may charge a little extra or say no.
Sauce hacks
- Sauce on the side: keeps Fingerz and wings crispier, and you control how much you use.
- Two sauces, one order: get one mild sauce and one hot sauce to dip.
- Mix your own: blend Zax Sauce with a hot sauce like Tongue Torch for a creamy-spicy dip.
- Sauce your fries: crinkle fries hold sauce well; try Honey Mustard or Ranch.
Sauces have very different calories and allergens. Check them in our sauces guide.
Dry rub hacks
Since February 2026, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan and Nashville Hot dry rubs are permanent. Ask for:
- a dry rub on Fingerz instead of a wet sauce, for crunch with flavor;
- a dry rub plus a dipping sauce on the side;
- a dry rub on wings for a lighter-feeling option than creamy sauces.
See calories and allergens in the dry rubs guide.
Build-your-own combos
- A la carte plus sides: order 5 Fingerz or 5 wings with no sides, then add just the side you want.
- Wings & Things for indecisive eaters: it combines Fingerz and wings in one meal.
- Grilled vs fried Zalad: every Zalad comes grilled, fried or garden, so choose to suit your appetite.
- Swap the drink: unsweet tea or water instead of a soda saves calories.
