Wendy’s announced the launch today of its new “Tendys” Chicken Tenders at participating locations nationwide, starting September 30, 2025.
Wendy’s new Tendys are premium, all‑white‑meat chicken strips in a seasoned breading, fried to a crunchy golden brown on the outside and tender, juicy on the inside.
In addition, Wendy’s is introducing six new dipping sauces to complement the new chicken tenders, including:
- Wendy’s Signature: Signature creamy sauce with black pepper and a dash of hot sauce; built for Tendys.
- Sweet Chili: Mild heat with sweetness and a light tang; sriracha, garlic, and ginger notes.
- Scorchin’ Hot: Creamy hot sauce with a slow, rising burn.
- Creamy Ranch: Thick, herb-forward ranch for straight‑up dipping.
- Honey BBQ: Sweet meets smoky in a classic barbecue blend.
- Honey Mustard: Honey‑sweet, lightly tangy mustard with Dijon depth.
Chicken Tenders are available a la carte in three- or four-piece packs for $5.49 and $7.29, respectively, and as a combo starting at $10.99 (prices may vary). Each order includes two sauces, with extra cups available for a small fee.
For kids, there’s a two-piece serving in a Wendy’s Kids’ Meal, with one sauce. The new packaging is designed for dunking, featuring a built‑in holder for the sauce cup.
Tendys are available starting today as part of Wendy’s core menu at participating locations nationwide.
