Chicken Express Menu With Prices
Every tender, chicken piece and side — priced directly from three real Chicken Express pickup orders in Texas, not estimated. This is a regional chain and doesn’t operate everywhere.
Feature image: MenuPricesUSA
4 Express Tenders as a combo run $9.99–$11.99 depending on the store. Chicken Express is a regional chain — 250+ locations only in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana — so this isn’t a national brand, and menu names and prices vary noticeably store to store, even within Texas.

Menu naming genuinely differs by store — “Express Tenders Combo” (Mineral Wells, Fort Worth) and “Tender Dinner” (Texarkana) describe the same style of meal but aren’t identical items, so we’ve kept them as separate tickets rather than merging them.

Brand story
Chicken Express was founded in March 1988 by Richard and Nancy Stuart in Benbrook, Texas, expanding to Mineral Wells, Texas later that year — still the chain’s home base. The company, operated through North Texas Fried Chicken Inc. and now headquartered in Burleson, Texas, grew by being one of the first fast-food chicken delivery businesses, with the slogan “Our chicken can’t fly, so we deliver.” Known for fresh (never frozen) chicken and its Chicken E® sweet tea by the gallon, the chain has stayed deliberately regional — 250+ locations concentrated in Texas, with a smaller footprint in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, rather than expanding nationally.
Frequently asked questions
Is Chicken Express a national chain?
No — it’s a regional chain with 250+ locations concentrated in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. It doesn’t operate in most of the US, including major markets like Los Angeles or New York.
How much are Chicken Express Express Tenders?
4 Express Tenders alone run $7.99–$9.09 depending on the store, or $9.99–$11.99 as a combo with a side and drink.
What is the Mega Meal at Chicken Express?
40 Express Tenders, 4 family side orders, rolls, and a gallon of tea, for $76.99–$99.99 depending on the store — the largest single item on the menu.
Does the Chicken Express menu vary by store?
Yes, significantly. Our Texarkana store used different naming — “Dinners” and numbered Combos with listed calorie ranges — versus the “Express Tenders” and “Fried Chicken” category names used at Mineral Wells and Fort Worth. Prices also vary by several dollars on the same items between stores.
Our methodology
Prices are pulled directly from live Chicken Express ordering pages (order.online, DoorDash Commerce Platform) at three real stores — Mineral Wells, TX (100 SE 25th Ave, 76067, the chain’s original home base), Fort Worth, TX (124 McPherson Blvd, 76140), and Texarkana, TX (2902 Richmond Rd, 75503) — checked 19 Aug 2026. Chicken Express is a regional chain operating only in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, so we used real in-footprint markets rather than a generic Los Angeles/Dallas/New York set. Menu category names and item names genuinely differ between stores (Texarkana in particular uses different naming and lists calorie ranges) — we’ve kept those differences visible rather than forcing everything into one naming convention. See Chicken Express’s official site for current locations.
