Church's Chicken Tenders Menu, Prices & Sauce Guide (2026)
By Church's Editorial Team | Published Aug 17, 2026 | Updated Aug 21, 2026
Church's tenders are available in 3PC, 5PC, 10PC, 15PC, and 20PC options at checked official locations. Individual meals include side, drink, dipping sauce, and Honey-Butter Biscuit, while family meals add large sides and biscuits.
Tenders are one of the easiest Church's orders to compare because the piece count is clear. The tricky part is price: selected-store menus, direct app checkout, delivery platforms, taxes, and limited-time offers can all change the final number.
This guide treats tenders like a real menu page. It separates verified tender sizes from sample price signals, then adds calories, sodium, allergens, sauces, side pairings, family meal planning, and pickup or delivery tips.

Church's Tenders Menu Sizes: 3PC, 5PC, 10PC, 15PC & 20PC
Checked official location data lists 3PC and 5PC tender meals for individual orders, plus 10PC, 15PC, and 20PC tenders for family-style meals. Each is also shown as available as tenders only.
Official Church's location data describes 3PC Tenders and 5PC Tenders as individual meals with a regular classic side, regular drink, dipping sauce, and scratch-made Honey-Butter Biscuit. That structure is useful for lunch or a one-person dinner.
The larger tender meals scale differently. A 10PC Tenders meal is listed with one large classic side, dipping sauce, and 4 Honey-Butter Biscuits. A 15PC meal adds two large classic sides and 6 biscuits, while a 20PC meal adds three large sides and 8 biscuits.
| Tender Option | Meal Structure | Best Use | Price Status | Store Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3PC Tenders | Side, drink, sauce, biscuit | Lunch or light dinner | Store price varies | App or store page |
| 5PC Tenders | Side, drink, sauce, biscuit | Heavier individual meal | Store price varies | App or store page |
| 10PC Tenders | 1 large side, sauce, 4 biscuits | Small family meal | Store price varies | Family meal menu |
| 15PC Tenders | 2 large sides, sauce, 6 biscuits | Family dinner | Store price varies | Order ahead |
| 20PC Tenders | 3 large sides, sauce, 8 biscuits | Large family meal | Store price varies | Call if near closing |
How Much Do Church's Tenders Cost?
Church's does not publish one fixed national tender price board. The safest price answer is to check the selected Church's app, store page, or delivery cart before ordering.
A current DoorDash Church's menu sample shows 3PC and 5PC Tenders as configurable items with $0+ placeholders, which means the final amount depends on selected-store availability and checkout. The same sample lists 30PC, 50PC, and 100PC Party Packs with sample marketplace prices.
DoorDash's current Church's menu sample also lists Texas 2PC Feast and Texas 3PC Feast rows with tender choices and $0+ configurable pricing. Treat feast rows as selected-store checkout items, not fixed national prices.
| Price Signal | What It Means | Example From Current Sources | How To Use It |

| Texas 3PC Feast row | Limited-time/configurable offer clue | 3PC Leg & Thigh or 3PC Tenders with biscuit and jalapeño | Verify store participation |

Church's Original vs Spicy Tenders Nutrition
One Original tender has 90 calories, 4g fat, 307mg sodium, 5g carbs, and 8g protein. One Spicy tender has 134 calories, 8g fat, 450mg sodium, 6g carbs, and 10g protein.
These numbers are per tender before sauce, side, biscuit, and drink. A 3PC Original tender order starts at 270 calories from tenders alone, while a 5PC Original tender order starts at 450 calories before any meal add-ons.
Spicy tenders climb faster because each piece is higher in calories, fat, and sodium. A 3PC Spicy tender base reaches 402 calories and 1,350mg sodium before adding sauce, fries, biscuit, or sweet tea.
| Tender Type | Serving | Calories | Total Fat | Sodium | Carbs | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original Tender | 1 piece | 90 | 4g | 307mg | 5g | 8g |
| Spicy Tender | 1 piece | 134 | 8g | 450mg | 6g | 10g |
| 3PC Original Base | 3 pieces | 270 | 12g | 921mg | 15g | 24g |
| 5PC Original Base | 5 pieces | 450 | 20g | 1,535mg | 25g | 40g |
| 3PC Spicy Base | 3 pieces | 402 | 24g | 1,350mg | 18g | 30g |
| 5PC Spicy Base | 5 pieces | 670 | 40g | 2,250mg | 30g | 50g |
Church's Tenders Sauces: Calories, Flavor & Best Pairings
Honey BBQ is the lightest listed sauce at 45 calories, while Honey Mustard is the highest listed dipping sauce here at 140 calories. Brown Gravy is lower calorie but very high in sodium.
Official location menu data lists a Church's tenders sauce section with Zesty Ranch, Creamy Jalapeño, Honey BBQ, Brown Gravy, and Churchie Sauce. DoorDash menu data also shows Honey Mustard and Buffalo Hot Sauce rows.
Sauce changes the order more than many people expect. A 3PC Original base with Honey BBQ stays lighter, while Honey Mustard, Churchie Sauce, Creamy Jalapeño, or Zesty Ranch adds more fat and richness.
| Sauce | Calories | Sodium | Allergen Notes | Best Tender Pairing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honey BBQ | 45 | 200mg | No major allergen listed | Spicy tenders |
| Honey Sauce | 80 | 0mg | No major allergen listed | Sweet biscuit-style dip |
| Zesty Ranch | 108 | 191mg | Dairy, egg, sesame | Original tenders and fries |
| Churchie Sauce | 120 | 420mg | Egg, soy | All-purpose dipping |
| Creamy Jalapeño | 120 | 210mg | Egg | Original tenders |
| Honey Mustard | 140 | 160mg | Egg | Classic tender pairing |
| Brown Gravy | 36 | 860mg | No major allergen listed | Fries and tenders |
| White Gravy | 80 | 580mg | Dairy, egg, soy, wheat, MSG | Comfort-style dip |
Are Church's Tenders Gluten-Free Or Allergen-Friendly?
No, Church's tenders are not gluten-free. The official allergen guide lists dairy and wheat for both Original and Spicy tenders, so wheat-sensitive diners should avoid them.
The allergen issue extends past the tender itself. A regular tender meal can add a Honey-Butter Biscuit with dairy, soy, and wheat, plus sides such as mac and cheese, fried okra, mashed potatoes and gravy, or white gravy that also list wheat or other allergens.
If you have celiac disease, wheat allergy, dairy allergy, egg allergy, soy allergy, or severe sensitivity, do not treat "tenders only" as a safe shortcut. Ask the selected restaurant about ingredients and preparation before ordering.
| Item | Dairy | Egg | Soy | Wheat | Sesame |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original Tender | Yes | No | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |
| Spicy Tender | Yes | No | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |
| Churchie Sauce | No | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Zesty Ranch | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
| Creamy Jalapeño | No | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
| White Gravy | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Not listed |
Best Sides To Order With Church's Tenders
Fries are the easiest tender pairing, coleslaw cools spicy tenders, mashed potatoes add gravy comfort, corn lightens the plate, and mac and cheese works best in family meals.
Because tenders already bring crunchy breading, the best side depends on whether you want more crunch, more creaminess, or a cooling contrast. A tender meal with fries and ranch feels different from tenders with coleslaw and Honey BBQ.
If you are ordering a 10PC, 15PC, or 20PC tender meal, choose sides for the table instead of for one person. A good mix is one creamy side, one crisp side, and one lighter or cooling side when the meal size allows it.
| Tender Order | Best Side | Best Sauce | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3PC Original | Fries | Honey Mustard | Classic quick meal |
| 3PC Spicy | Coleslaw | Honey BBQ | Sweet and cooling balance |
| 5PC Original | Mashed Potatoes | Brown Gravy | More filling comfort plate |
| 5PC Spicy | Buttered Corn | Zesty Ranch | Sweet corn plus creamy dip |
| 10PC Family | Mac & Cheese | Churchie Sauce | Shareable rich side and sauce |
| 20PC Family | Mac, fries, coleslaw | Multiple sauces | Enough variety for a group |
Church's Tenders For Family Meals, Party Packs & Catering
For groups, tenders are simpler than mixed chicken pieces because every guest gets the same cut. Choose 10PC, 15PC, 20PC, or party packs based on guest count, sides, biscuits, sauces, and pickup time.
DoorDash's current Church's menu sample lists 30PC, 50PC, and 100PC Party Pack options that can be available as chicken or tenders. These are event-style options, not quick one-person meals.
For a party pack, sauce count becomes a real planning detail. Match at least two flavor profiles: one creamy sauce such as ranch or Churchie Sauce, and one sweet or smoky sauce such as Honey BBQ or Honey Mustard.
| Group Order | Food Structure | Planning Note | Best Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10PC Tenders | 1 large side, sauce, 4 biscuits | Small family dinner | Use app or store menu |
| 15PC Tenders | 2 large sides, sauce, 6 biscuits | More side variety | Order ahead |
| 20PC Tenders | 3 large sides, sauce, 8 biscuits | Best classic family spread | Check sauce count |
| 30PC Party Pack | Chicken or tenders | Sample $52.09+ marketplace signal | Confirm selected-store price |
| 50PC Party Pack | Chicken or tenders | Sample $78.09+ marketplace signal | Call before large pickup |
| 100PC Party Pack | Chicken or tenders | Sample $130.09+ marketplace signal | Plan catering-style timing |
How To Order Church's Tenders Without Overpaying
Compare tenders only, individual tender meals, family tender meals, and party packs before paying. The best value depends on piece count, sides, biscuits, sauces, rewards, fees, and guest count.
Start by choosing the real need: one person, two people, family dinner, or group event. A 5PC meal may beat a 3PC meal if you are hungry, but a 10PC family tender meal may be cleaner when two or three people are sharing.
Next, check the app or selected store page. Church's location pages link directly to order tenders and view the store menu. If delivery is involved, compare the final checkout total against pickup because fees and tips can change the value.
| Decision | Choose This | When It Saves Money | Watch-Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small appetite | 3PC Tenders | You need a regular combo | Adding extras can raise total |
| Bigger appetite | 5PC Tenders | You want more protein in one meal | Higher sodium with spicy tenders |
| Two or three people | 10PC Tenders | Shared side and biscuits fit | May need extra sauce |
| Family dinner | 15PC or 20PC | Large sides and biscuits matter | Confirm pickup time |
| Event order | Party pack | Piece count beats many small meals | Call ahead for availability |
