DQ Crispy Chicken Sandwich — What You Get

Setting the benchmark for Dairy Queen's sandwich menu, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich is crafted with a whole, intact white-meat chicken breast rather than a processed ground patty. Dipped in seasoned breading and fried fresh to order, it locks in natural juices while creating a crunchy crust that holds up to creamy mayo and crisp garden vegetables. Discover all of our hot sandwich choices on The Queen Dairy Menu.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich vs. FlameThrower Chicken — Is the Upgrade Worth It?

If you're wondering whether to upgrade to the fiery FlameThrower® Chicken Sandwich ($9.29), it comes down to spice tolerance. For a $1.30 upcharge, the FlameThrower layers on melted Pepper Jack, fiery chili sauce, and jalapeño bacon. But if you want a clean, balanced, and classic crispy poultry crunch, the standard $7.99 build is tough to beat.

Both are $7.99–$9.99 range. The key difference: the Chicken Strip Basket ($9.99) comes with fries, Texas toast, and a dipping sauce already included. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($7.99) is the sandwich alone — sides cost extra. If you want a complete meal with sides included, the Chicken Strip Basket is the better all-in-one value.
