Golden Chick Sandwiches: Hand-Breaded Chicken on Fresh-Baked Rolls

Golden Chick sandwiches are built differently. Instead of a standard bun, every sandwich is served on Golden Chick’s signature extra-large fresh-baked yeast roll — warm, soft, and buttery straight out of the oven. Whether you’re in the mood for bold and spicy or something cool and classic, the Golden Chick sandwiches menu has an option that delivers.

There are two standout sandwiches on the menu, and each one brings something completely unique to the table.

Golden Chick Sandwiches Menu with Prices

Big & Golden™ Sandwich — $5.49 to $6.99

The Big & Golden™ is Golden Chick’s flagship chicken sandwich and one of the most talked-about items on the entire menu. It starts with an all-white meat chicken breast, hand-breaded and marinated in-house, then fried to golden, crispy perfection.

On top of that goes Golden Chick’s signature Lotta Zing® sauce — a bold, spicy flavor you won’t find anywhere else — plus five dill pickle slices, all piled onto an extra-large fresh-baked yeast roll. The sandwich was upgraded in 2024 and is now 20% bigger than its original size, making it one of the most satisfying handheld meals in the Southern fried chicken category.

Calories: 650 to 800 calories depending on your side selection.

Texas Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich — $6.49 to $7.99

If you’re after something a little different, the Texas Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich is a true Golden Chick original. It piles a generous scoop of Golden Chick’s award-winning chicken salad — made with hand-cut grapes, celery, pecans, and dried cranberries — onto an extra-large fresh-baked yeast roll for a sandwich that’s rich, sweet, and savory all at once.

This is a beloved Texas-style recipe that has been on the Golden Chick menu for decades. There’s nothing else like it at any other fast food chain.

Calories: 580 to 720 calories.

Can You Order Golden Chick Sandwiches as a Combo?

Yes. Both sandwiches are available as combo meals paired with your choice of side and a 30 oz. drink. Combo pricing varies slightly by location. Popular side pairings include mashed potatoes, battered fries, and mac and cheese. Browse all available sides on the Golden Chick Sides menu to find your perfect match.

Sauces to Go with Your Sandwich

The Big & Golden™ already comes loaded with Lotta Zing® sauce, but you can always add more heat or try a completely different flavor. Golden Chick offers a range of dipping sauces and extras including Buttermilk Ranch, Honey Mustard, and BBQ. See every option on the Golden Chick Extras & Sauces page.
