Popeyes Chicken Tenders Menu With Prices & Calories

Hand-battered, all-white-meat and made for dipping — Popeyes tenders are the crowd-pleaser that even picky eaters agree on. Here's the full Popeyes chicken tenders menu with 2026 prices and calories, from a 3-piece combo to a 16-piece family meal.

Popeyes makes its tenders the same way as the signature chicken: marinated, hand-battered and pressure-fried to a deep golden crust. There are two styles to know — Classic handcrafted tenders (breaded and fried) and Blackened tenders, which skip the breading entirely and are seasoned and grilled, making them the leanest protein on the menu. Both love a good dipping sauce.
