The Snack-Size Chicken Option

While you'll usually find DQ's signature chicken bundled inside the massive Chicken Strip Baskets (which load you up with fries, Texas toast, and gravy), the 2-Piece Chicken Strips option strips all the extras away. It leaves you with just two perfectly crispy strips and your choice of dipping sauce. This makes it the most affordable way to enjoy DQ's chicken, and it's absolutely ideal when you're craving some quick protein without committing to a 1,000-calorie basket.

Why It Belongs in the 2-for-$5 Deal

Without a doubt, the 2-Piece Strips are one of the highest-value choices you can make in the 2-for-$5 Mix & Match. Bought by themselves, they ring up at $3.49. But if you pair them with a second Mix & Match item, their effective price drops to roughly $2.50. You can even double up and get four strips for a flat $5.00—which is significantly cheaper per strip than buying the 4-Piece Basket, assuming you don't care about the fries and toast.

Dipping Sauces

Your order includes one dipping sauce of your choice, with extra sauces usually running about $0.30 a pop. You can stick with the classics like DQ Country Gravy, honey mustard, barbecue, or ranch. Or, if you're a fan of the bold flavors from the signature strip baskets, you can absolutely request the spicy FlameThrower or sweet Honey BBQ sauces for your snack strips instead!
