Low-heat flavors to start with

  • Lemon Pepper: Bright citrus and cracked pepper on a dry, crisp finish. An easy first pick.
  • Garlic Parmesan: Buttery garlic with a savory parmesan finish. Rich, not spicy.
  • Mild: The buffalo-style taste with most of the heat turned down.
  • Hickory Smoked BBQ: Sweet, smoky barbecue sauce. Familiar and easy.
  • Hawaiian: Sweet, tropical, fruity glaze with no burn.
  • Plain: Cooked with no sauce or seasoning added.

Heat levels are our editorial scale. If a child is sensitive, ask for sauce on the side or choose Plain and add a dip.

Easy items for small appetites

  • Crispy tenders are a familiar chicken-strip shape and pair with ranch or honey mustard.
  • Boneless wings are easier to eat than bone-in pieces and have no bones to handle.
  • Seasoned fries or cheese fries are a safe side.
  • Veggie sticks with ranch add a vegetable.

Ordering tips

  • Order one spicy and one mild flavor if the family is mixed.
  • Split a regular order of fries rather than ordering one per child.
  • Check the allergen chart before ordering if anyone has a food allergy.

Picky eaters

Tenders with a mild dip, plain wings and seasoned fries are the easiest wins. Let kids choose a dip and avoid ordering anything too saucy for little hands.

Heat and safety

Check every sauced wing before handing it to a young child, since flavors can be hotter than expected. Bones in classic wings are a choking risk for very young kids, so tenders may be safer.
