- Chicken strips
- Crispy seasoned fries
- Texas toast
- Your choice of dipping sauce
DQ chicken strips are all-tenderloin white-meat chicken strips. The dipping sauce is served separately, so you can choose if you want to eat the chicken rather than having the regular strips coated in sauce.
Dairy Queen Chicken Strips
Dairy Queen Chicken Strips are breaded, fried chicken tenderloin strips with a crispy coating and seasoned chicken inside. DQ’s current menu includes a 3-piece chicken strip serving at 430 calories, 41g carbohydrates, and 19g protein.
