The Full Bojangles Chicken Menu — Bone-In, Supremes & Bird Dogs (With Prices)
Bojangles marinates its bone-in chicken for twelve hours before it ever touches the breading. Most people don't know that, and it's exactly why the chicken tastes seasoned all the way through instead of just on the crust. So before you default to tenders out of habit, here's the whole chicken lineup — three very different lanes, each with its own reason to exist.
| If you want… | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|
| The authentic Southern experience | Bone-In, 3pc | ~ $8.49 |
| No mess, no bones | Chicken Supremes, 4pc | ~ $8.49 |
| A quick handheld | Bo's Chicken Sandwich | ~ $6.29 |
| Something fun & cheap | Bird Dog | ~ $5.49 |
Bone-In: the original
This is the chicken Bojangles built its name on — hand-breaded, Cajun-spiced, juicy under a crackly crust. It's sold mixed by default (a blend of white and dark), but here's the insider move: ask for "dark meat only" if you like thighs and legs. Dark meat holds the seasoning and stays juicier, and most stores will do it, sometimes for a small upcharge. One timing note worth knowing — the full dinner menu, bone-in included, usually starts around 10:30 AM once the kitchen shifts out of breakfast mode.
Bone-In (mixed)
12-hour marinade, hand-breaded. Ask for dark meat only.
from ~ $6.49
Chicken Supremes
Whole-breast tenders. The most consistent thing on the menu.
from ~ $6.49
Bo's Chicken Sandwich
Crispy filet, pickles, mayo, sesame bun.
~ $6.29
Bird Dog
Tender in a bun. Weirdly great, often on a 2-for deal.
~ $5.49| Bone-In (à la carte) | Calories (approx) | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2 pieces | ~ 510 cal | ~ $6.49 |
| 3 pieces | ~ 760 cal | ~ $8.49 |
| 4 pieces | ~ 1010 cal | ~ $9.99 |
| 8 pieces | ~ 2030 cal | ~ $15.99 |
| 12 pieces | ~ 3040 cal | ~ $22.99 |
Make any bone-in count a dinner by adding two fixin's and a biscuit — usually just a few dollars more, and the better deal if you want a full plate. Feeding a group? The family meals beat à la carte every time.
Chicken Supremes: the easy pick
Supremes are boneless, whole-breast tenders with the same Cajun seasoning — no bones, no fuss, genuinely the most consistent item on the board. They come mild or spicy, and the 4-piece combo with seasoned fries, a biscuit and a drink is the order I steer first-timers toward who don't want to deal with bone-in.
| Chicken Supremes | Calories (approx) | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3-piece | ~ 500 cal | ~ $6.49 |
| 4-piece | ~ 660 cal | ~ $8.49 |
| 8-piece | ~ 1320 cal | ~ $10.49 |
| 12-piece | ~ 1980 cal | ~ $14.99 |
| 4-piece Supremes Combo | ~ 1140 cal | ~ $10.99 |
Sandwiches & Bird Dogs
The handheld lane has quietly gotten strong. Bo's Chicken Sandwich is the no-frills crispy filet with pickles and mayo; the Cajun version turns up the heat. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the lighter call, and the Bird Dog is the cheap-and-cheerful wildcard that's almost always worth grabbing when there's a 2-for deal.
| Sandwich / handheld | Calories (approx) | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bo's Chicken Sandwich | ~ 740 cal | ~ $6.29 |
| Cajun Chicken Sandwich (spicy) | ~ 750 cal | ~ $6.49 |
| Grilled Chicken Sandwich | ~ 500 cal | ~ $5.99 |
| Bird Dog (1) | ~ 390 cal | ~ $5.49 |
| Bo's Chicken Sandwich Combo | ~ 1180 cal | ~ $9.49 |
Dipping sauces
Most are free with combos, a small charge à la carte:
Bo's Special Sauce Ranch Honey Mustard BBQ Buffalo Marinara
New for 2026
Bojangles has been leaning into boneless to reach new markets, so you'll see a bigger Supremes presence and, at some locations, a reported Bo Bites platter of bite-sized hand-breaded pieces. Availability is rolling out unevenly, so treat new items as "ask if your store has it yet" rather than guaranteed everywhere.
Dark meat only
Juicier and more seasoned than mixed. Just ask — most stores oblige.
Go dinner, not à la carte
Two fixin's + a biscuit for a few dollars more turns pieces into a real meal.
Bird Dog 2-fors
When the board shows "2 for ~$5," that's some of the cheapest filling food anywhere.
Spicy Supremes
Same price, more flavor. The mild is fine; the spicy is the move.
