There’s a block in my hometown coined “the chicken strip,' where there are at least four fast-food fried chicken restaurants within a one-mile radius, and PDQ is one of them. PDQ reminds me a bit of Starbucks, where there’s what seems like one on every corner. When there are so many spots to choose from, PDQ is hands down one of the fast-food chicken champs. The chicken is consistently fresh, crisp, juicy, and delicious.
Whether you’re looking for a lighter meal or just want to indulge your fried chicken cravings, the menu at PDQ has got you covered. And, as a dietitian, I’m always looking for restaurants that offer both. Packed With protein: Since chicken is a protein source, it wouldn’t be easy to find a meal item that’s not rich in this macronutrient . In fact, all of the entree items contain anywhere from 20 to upwards of 50 grams of protein per serving.
Read on for the 9 of the most nutritious orders at PDQ and 4 menu items to avoid. Then, check out these 14 Best & Worst Fast-Food Chicken Sandwiches. Here’s a tip: since all of the dressings on the menu have 4-tablespoon servings—far more than what’s needed to flavor-up your salad—you can easily cut calories by asking for the dressing on the side and using less than the entire container.The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is a balanced and nutritious meal if you order it plain without the PDQ sauce. This sandwich has 290 calories, only 1.5 grams of saturated fat, and 24 grams of protein. The only thing it’s missing is a sufficient serving of fiber.
