Church's Chicken Sides, Sauces & Desserts Menu Prices (2026)

By Church's Editorial Team | Published Aug 1, 2026 | Updated Aug 7, 2026

Church's sides include mashed potatoes and gravy, fries, coleslaw, buttered corn, fried okra, baked mac and cheese, biscuits, jalapeño peppers, sauces, and sweet pies. Prices vary by location and checkout channel.

The sides menu is not filler at Church's. It decides whether a fried chicken order feels like a quick snack, a full combo, a family meal, or a group spread for pickup, delivery, or catering.

This guide separates sample menu prices from official nutrition facts. The price examples below come from current marketplace menu data that says prices are estimated and may vary by store, while calories and allergens come from Church's official guide.

What Sides Does Church's Chicken Have?

The core Church's sides menu centers on mashed potatoes and gravy, fries, coleslaw, buttered corn, fried okra, baked mac and cheese, Honey-Butter Biscuits, jalapeño peppers, sauces, and apple pie.

DoorDash's current Church's menu sample lists Sides, Sauces, Sweet Treats, Extras, Family Meals, Real Deals, Party Packs, and Ice-Cold Drinks as menu categories. That matches the way customers build meals: protein first, then sides, biscuits, drinks, sauces, and desserts.

The regular side choices cover different jobs. Fries bring crunch, coleslaw cools spicy chicken, corn adds a lighter sweet bite, mashed potatoes carry gravy, okra gives Southern-style crispness, and baked mac and cheese adds a heavier comfort-food side.

Treat those prices as examples, not national fixed prices. Your local Church's app, store page, delivery app, and drive-thru menu can show a different final price after store participation, taxes, delivery fees, and promotions.

Church's Sides Nutrition: Calories, Sodium, Carbs & Protein

The lowest-calorie common side is buttered corn at 94 calories, while fried okra is the highest listed regular side here at 280 calories. Sodium ranges from 200mg in coleslaw to 920mg in baked mac and cheese.

Calories alone do not tell the full story. A side with fewer calories can still be high in sodium, while a heavier side may offer more comfort value in a family meal.

For example, buttered corn has 94 calories but 873mg sodium. Coleslaw has 170 calories with 200mg sodium, while baked mac and cheese has 210 calories, 920mg sodium, and 9g protein.

Which Church's Side Is Best With Fried Chicken?

Pick coleslaw for spicy chicken balance, fries for tenders and sandwiches, mashed potatoes for gravy comfort, corn for a lighter bite, okra for crunch, and mac and cheese for a richer family meal.

A good Church's order has contrast. Fried chicken already brings salt, spice, crust, and richness, so the side should either cool it down, add a different texture, or make the meal feel more complete.

Coleslaw is the cleanest contrast because it is creamy, cold, and tangy. Fries are the easiest default because they fit sandwiches and tenders. Mashed potatoes and gravy are the comfort choice when you want a fork-and-spoon side.

Church's Sauces, Gravy, Biscuits & Jalapeño Extras

Church's extras can change the whole meal: Honey-Butter Biscuits add sweet richness, jalapeño peppers add heat, brown or white gravy adds dipping comfort, and sauces support tenders, wings, fries, and sandwiches.

DoorDash's current Church's menu sample lists sauces at $0.69+, brown gravy at $1.29+, Honey-Butter Biscuits at $1.69+, jalapeño peppers at $0.89+, and Jalapeño Cheese Bombers at $3.89+. These are sample marketplace prices and can change by store.

The official nutrition guide lists one Honey-Butter Biscuit at 230 calories, 460mg sodium, 25g carbs, 5g sugar, and 3g protein. A single jalapeño pepper is only 5 calories with 170mg sodium.

Are Church's Sides Gluten-Free Or Allergen-Friendly?

Church's sides are not a simple gluten-free category. Mashed potatoes and gravy, baked mac and cheese, fried okra, biscuits, cheese bombers, white gravy, and apple pie list wheat in the official guide.

For gluten-sensitive diners, use "no wheat listed" instead of "gluten-free." Fast-food kitchens can share fryers, utensils, prep space, and holding areas, so cross-contact should be checked with the local restaurant.

Coleslaw lists egg. Buttered corn lists dairy and soy. Baked mac and cheese lists dairy, soy, and wheat. Fried okra lists dairy, wheat, and MSG. White gravy lists dairy, egg, soy, wheat, and MSG.

Best Church's Sides For Family Meals, Delivery & Catering

For family meals, choose at least one creamy side and one crisp or lighter side. Mac and cheese plus coleslaw, or mashed potatoes plus fries, gives the table better balance.

Family meal pages often bundle chicken or tenders with large classic sides and Honey-Butter Biscuits. DoorDash's sample Church's menu describes 10PC, 12PC, 16PC, and 20PC family-style meals with large sides and biscuit counts.

The best group order does not rely on one side. Choose one comfort side, one cooling side, one crisp side, and enough biscuits. Add sauces before checkout so tenders, fries, and chicken pieces do not arrive under-supported.

Regular vs Large Church's Sides: What Changes?

Regular sides work for one combo or one tender meal. Large sides make more sense with 8PC, 10PC, 12PC, 16PC, 15PC Tenders, 20PC Tenders, and party-style orders.

Size matters because the side is often where a family meal becomes easy or frustrating. One large side can disappear quickly if four people all want the same mac and cheese, fries, or mashed potatoes. A better group order usually spreads the sides across texture and temperature.

For a smaller family meal, use one creamy side and one lighter or crisp side when the local menu allows it. Mashed potatoes plus coleslaw gives a comfort-and-cooling mix. Baked mac and cheese plus fried okra gives a richer, heavier table. Corn plus fries keeps the order simpler for children and picky eaters.

Delivery orders need a different check. Fries and okra can soften during delivery, while coleslaw, corn, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, biscuits, and sealed sauce cups usually travel more predictably. If pickup time is long, choose at least one side that still works warm rather than crisp.

Which Church's Side Should You Skip?

Skip based on the problem you are trying to avoid. Choose something other than baked mac if sodium is your priority, avoid fried okra if you want fewer calories, and avoid wheat-listed sides if gluten matters.

"Best" depends on the order. Baked mac and cheese tastes right in a family meal, but it has 920mg sodium per regular serving. Fried okra brings crunch, but it is 280 calories with 15g total fat.

Coleslaw is not the lowest-calorie side, but it is still lighter than fries, mac and cheese, and fried okra in the current planning table. Buttered corn is the lowest-calorie regular side here at 94 calories, but its sodium is much higher at 873mg.
