Golden Chick menu prices featuring 88 items ranging from $0.28 to $289.99

Whenever I'm in the mood for some fried chicken, especially for lunch or dinner, Golden Chick is often a strong contender. I’m particularly partial to their fried chicken strips, endearingly referred to as Golden Tenders. I remember the first time I sunk my teeth into a Golden Tender; the unique blend of spices and the crisp exterior revealing tender, juicy chicken within. It was heavenly.

GOLDEN CHICK Menu Prices

Did you know that Golden Chick has its humble beginnings etched in history since 1967? Interestingly, the first-ever Golden Chick (or Golden Fried Chicken as it was known back then) sprouted in San Marcos, Texas. My Texan heart swells up a wee bit every time I think about it, such a proud Texan moment!

The corporate decision to franchise the brand didn't come until 1972, but the acceleration in their growth was mostly evident a decade later - Radiating primarily from Central Texas (hey, we Texans love our fried chicken!). It wasn't until 1996 that the company transitioned from the Golden Fried Chicken to the snappier Golden Chick, a name change that I’m definitely a fan of!

If you're a fried chicken lover like me, you may want to familiarize yourself with more of Golden Chick’s history and their journey. Magic lies in their stories. Their website, https://goldenchick.com/, is a treasure chest of information.

Craving some Golden Chick goodness?

Like I mentioned before, chicken is their specialty. And boy, do they have variety! Be it fried chicken sandwiches ready to satiate your hunger, served by themselves or as a part of a meal, Golden Chick has you covered. I remember devouring their Southern fried catfish meal with a side and a drink, and it was an absolute pleasure. His Majesty, the Golden Combo!

Golden Chick also caters to large groups or families, with their Family Meals offering larger servings of fried food and sides. Their 16 or 25 piece Golden Tenders meal, a popular choice (and one of my personal favorites) is served with either gravy or sauce, a couple of family-sized sides, and rolls. It really is a banquet!

A little birdie told me that they also serve a small but delicious selection of salads if you're looking for a lighter meal. Complete nutritional information is readily available on the company’s website – perfect for the health-conscious or those with dietary restrictions.

And oh, the side dishes! Crispy and perfectly battered French fries, Fried Okra, Mac & Cheese, and Dirty Rice, all of them wonderfully complement their fried chicken. It's an affair to remember. And while there is technically no dessert menu, their chocolate-chip cookies come pretty darn close.

To wrap up your meal, they offer a delightful range of drinks including raspberry lemonade (a personal favorite), freshly brewed iced tea, and the standard soda options.

How about a Golden Chick gift card?

Sure thing! Next time you're looking for a gift option, why not consider a Golden Chick Gift Card? Whether it's for a foodie friend, family member, or coworker, I can vouch for it being a unique and well-received gesture. These gift cards can be redeemed for anything on the menu – which is, of course, very generous.

Does Golden Chick cater to vegetarians?

Well, a fried chicken joint probably isn't the first place I'd think of for a vegetarian meal. And truth be told, Golden Chick's vegetarian options are not as extensive, they don't have plant-based alternatives to their meat dishes. But all is not lost. You have the option of a garden salad with a multitude of fresh veggies, and of course, the vast selection of sides open to vegetarians – Mashed potatoes, green beans, and coleslaw. Although limited, you can certainly make do.

Got a fiery palate?

Well, Golden Chick’s normal fried chicken isn’t spicy. But don’t worry because you can surely request for some heat in certain items. Not to mention, they also introduced “Wicked Wings” as a limited-time offer, which comes with a spicy or regular option.

Prefer to dine at home?

You can place a Golden Chick order online for participating stores. Your order can be ready for pickup, letting you skip the queue especially when you're in a rush.

Too lazy to step out?

Fear not because the Golden Chick delivery option is designed for you! While availability varies by location, you can enjoy your crispy chicken without even leaving your sofa. Check with your local store or their website for the delivery options available in your area.

Party Time?

Did you know Golden Chick does catering as well? They offer packages perfect for birthdays, celebrations, and business meetings. I remember when my cousin ordered Golden Chick for his housewarming party and it was an instant hit. Most dishes from their menu are available for catering orders. A Party Pack serving from 15 to 50 people would typically include a variety of entrées, sides, and rolls, with sauces available as optional add-ons.
