Chicken Strip Basket

What is it?

Breaded whole tenderloin chicken strips come in a four-piece or six-piece basket, paired with seasoned fries, a slice of buttered Texas toast, and a dipping sauce on the side. Fried rather than formed, the strips keep an uneven, natural shape that sets them apart from pressed nuggets. Compared with the rest of Dairy Queen's lineup, this sits on the savory side of the menu, far from the soft-serve and Blizzard items the chain is known for. Toast is griddled, fries are straight-cut, and the sauce choice can change the balance of the meal considerably.
