Bojangles Kids' Menu: Options, Prices & Portion Sizes
The kids' menu at Bojangles is short, and honestly that's fine — it does the one job it needs to. A real little meal, sized for a child, that won't start a backseat negotiation. The choices come down to tenders or a Bird Dog, plus a small side and a kid-sized drink, and there are a few smart swaps worth knowing if you'd like the meal a touch lighter. Here's the parent's-eye view.
| Kids' meal | Includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kids 2pc Chicken Supremes | 2 tenders, small side, kid's drink | ~ $4.99 |
| Kids Bird Dog | 1 Bird Dog, small side, kid's drink | ~ $4.99 |
| Kids Mac 'n Cheese (where offered) | Mac 'n cheese, small side, kid's drink | ~ $4.99 |
What's actually in a kids' meal
Each kids' meal is built the same way: a small main, one small fixin', and a kid-sized drink. The 2-piece Chicken Supremes is the go-to — boneless whole-breast tenders, no bones to worry about, and mild enough for most kids. The Bird Dog (a tender tucked in a soft bun) is the pick for the kid who's suspicious of anything that looks "fancy." Some locations round it out with a small mac 'n cheese main for the truly chicken-averse.
Kids 2pc Supremes
Boneless tenders, mild, no fuss. The default.
~ $4.99
Kids Bird Dog
Tender in a bun. Wins over picky eaters.
~ $4.99
Kids Mac 'n Cheese
For the chicken-averse. Where offered.
~ $4.99Picking the side
The kids' side defaults to a small fixin', and you've got the same lineup as the grown-up sides menu, just smaller. Bo-Tato Rounds and mac 'n cheese are the easy kid-pleasers. If you'd like to slip a vegetable onto the tray, the green beans are the lightest option and most kids won't put up much of a fight once there's a tender to dip. Dirty Rice is a fun one for more adventurous eaters — just note it contains meat, so it's not for vegetarian kids.
Drinks: the easiest swap you'll make
This is where you can quietly upgrade the meal. The kid's drink can usually be a small soft drink, juice (apple or orange), bottled water, or milk where it's stocked. Picking water, milk, or juice over soda is the simplest way to cut the sugar without any drama — the kid still gets a "special" drink, you skip the cola. Easy win.

Lighter options for parents who care
You don't have to overthink a kids' meal, but if you'd like it a little lighter, the levers are simple: choose the tenders over the Bird Dog bun, pair with green beans instead of fries, and go water, milk or juice instead of soda. That combination keeps it a genuine meal a kid will actually eat while trimming the heaviest bits. If your child has a food allergy, check the allergen guide and confirm with staff before ordering — that part is always worth the extra minute.
À la carte for tiny appetites
Got a kid who only wants the chicken? You can order Chicken Supremes à la carte in small counts and skip the full meal. The kids' meal is usually better value once you'd add a side and drink anyway, but for a toddler who'll eat exactly two tenders and nothing else, à la carte saves a few cents and a lot of leftover fries.
Swap soda for milk or water
Same "special drink" feeling, far less sugar. The single easiest upgrade.
Green beans count as the veg
Lightest side, and with a tender to dip, most kids go along with it.
Bird Dog for picky eaters
Something familiar-looking in a bun beats a plate of "what is that."
À la carte for toddlers
If they'll only eat the chicken, just buy the tenders and skip the extras.
