Bojangles Family Meals & Big Bo Boxes: What Feeds How Many
Feeding a crowd is where Bojangles quietly becomes the smartest order on the strip. Buy four separate combos and you'll spend close to forty dollars and feed four people. Buy a family box for roughly the same money and you feed six — with biscuits and big fixin's thrown in. The trick is matching the right box to the right number of mouths, so let's start there.
| How many you're feeding | Best box | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3–4 people | 8-Piece Family Meal | ~ $28.99 |
| 5–6 people | 12-Piece Family Meal | ~ $36.99 |
| A party (BYO sides) | 20-Piece Tailgate Special | ~ $22.99 |
| Tender lovers, 4–5 | 12-Piece Supremes Family Meal | ~ $30.99 |
The family meals, unpacked
The standard family meals bundle bone-in chicken with biscuits and large (picnic-sized) fixin's. They're the move for a sit-down dinner where you want the whole spread without assembling it piece by piece. Note the fixin's are the large sizes here, so each one stretches across the table.
8-Piece Family Meal
8 chicken, 4 biscuits, 2 large fixin's. Feeds 3–4.
~ $28.99
20-Piece Tailgate
Chicken only. The cheapest per piece, for big groups.
~ $22.99
Supremes Family Meal
Boneless, kid-friendly, no bones to deal with.
~ $30.99| Family meal | What's inside | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 8-Piece Family Meal | 8 bone-in pieces, 4 biscuits, 2 large fixin's | ~ $28.99 |
| 12-Piece Family Meal | 12 bone-in pieces, 6 biscuits, 3 large fixin's | ~ $36.99 |
| 12-Piece Box Meal | 12 bone-in pieces, biscuits + fixin's | ~ $29.99 |
| 12-Piece Supremes Family Meal | 12 Supremes, 4 biscuits, 2 large fixin's | ~ $30.99 |
| Mixed Box (fillets + bone-in) | 8 fillets, 4 bone-in, 4 biscuits, ½ gal tea, 2 fixin's | ~ $34.99 |
Tailgate specials: chicken by the bucket
When the sides are someone else's job — a cookout, a tailgate, a church potluck — the chicken-only boxes are unbeatable. No biscuits, no fixin's, just a mountain of bone-in. At about $22.99 for 20 pieces, you're paying close to a dollar a piece, which is the cheapest Bojangles chicken gets.
| Tailgate / bulk box | Per-piece cost | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 12-Piece (chicken only) | ~ $1.25 each | ~ $14.99 |
| 20-Piece Tailgate Special | ~ $1.15 each | ~ $22.99 |
The per-person math
This is the part that makes family meals a no-brainer. Spread across realistic appetites:
- 8-Piece (~$28.99) ÷ 4 people ≈ ~$7.25 each — with biscuits and sides included.
- 12-Piece (~$36.99) ÷ 6 people ≈ ~$6.17 each — the best value once you're past four.
- 20-Piece Tailgate (~$22.99) for chicken alone is roughly ~$1.15 a piece.
Compare that to four individual combos at $8–$10 apiece and the box wins outright — more food, more people fed, less money.
Add a gallon of tea
For any gathering, a gallon of Legendary Iced Tea (~$6.99) beats individual cups by a mile.
Order ahead for big boxes
Large bone-in counts cook fresh. A call or app order ahead means no 15-minute wait at the counter.
Mix bone-in and Supremes
Got kids and adults? The mixed boxes keep everyone happy without two separate orders.
Large fixin's stretch further
Family meals use picnic-sized sides — one tub of mac genuinely covers a table.
