Zaxby’s runs a shorter sandwich line than most chicken chains, and it splits cleanly in two. On one side are the full size builds on a potato bun or Texas toast: the Signature Sandwich and Spicy Signature Sandwich at $6.99, the Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich at $7.19 and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich at $7.49. On the other are the Nibblerz, small sandwiches sold in ones, twos and threes from $2.49.
The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the outlier worth knowing about. At 470 calories it is the lightest substantial item on the entire Zaxby’s menu, roughly 220 calories below the Signature Sandwich at 600 and 490 below the Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich at 690. Marinated grilled fillet, lettuce, tomato and ranch on a toasted potato bun, and nothing fried anywhere in it.
Prices on this page are for the sandwich alone. Every one of them is also sold as a meal with crinkle fries and a small drink for roughly $2.60 to $2.90 more, which puts the meal versions between $9.79 and $9.99. Those meal builds sit in the meals section alongside the plates.

Signature Sandwich versus Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich
These two get confused constantly, and they are built differently. The Signature Sandwich uses one hand breaded chicken fillet with dill pickles and Zax Sauce on a toasted potato bun. It costs $6.99 and carries 600 calories. The Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich uses Chicken Fingerz rather than a fillet, sits them on Texas toast rather than a bun, and dresses them with Tongue Torch and ranch. It costs $7.19 and carries 690 calories.
The heat is the other difference. Tongue Torch is a medium vinegar and cayenne sauce, so the Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich has real warmth to it. Anyone who wants heat on the potato bun build should order the Spicy Signature Sandwich instead, which swaps standard Zax Sauce for Spicy Zax Sauce at the same $6.99 and, oddly, comes in 10 calories lighter at 590.
Why the Nibblerz are the cheapest way to eat here
A single Nibbler is $2.49 and 330 calories. Two are $4.29, three are $6.69. Each one is a hand breaded Chicken Finger with Zax Sauce on a small toasted bun, so the recipe matches the full size builds at a fraction of the portion.
The arithmetic favours the pair. Two Nibblerz at $4.29 work out at $2.15 each against $2.49 for one, and three at $6.69 come to $2.23 each. The two pack is the cheapest per sandwich, and at 660 calories it lands close to a full Signature Sandwich for $2.70 less.
The lightest way to order a Zaxby’s sandwich
Start with the Grilled Chicken Sandwich at 470 calories and hold the ranch. Ranch adds around 150 calories in a standard cup, so a plain grilled sandwich with lettuce and tomato sits in the low 300s. Nothing else on the Zaxby’s board gets a full sandwich that low.
The gap between grilled and fried is worth seeing in numbers. Grilled Chicken Sandwich 470, Spicy Signature 590, Signature 600, Kickin’ Chicken 690. The same pattern repeats on the Zalads, where switching from fried to grilled chicken takes roughly 100 calories off every salad on the list.
