The Take
Zaxby's Chicken Fingers earns an 88 Slop Score for frying hand-breaded white meat in highly refined soybean oil.
Breading and signature sauces mask the industrial reality while the menu pushes Texas toast and crinkle fries on the side.
The Verdict
Status-signaling fast-casual buyers chasing Southern vibes get hit with seed-oil regret instead. The based order dodges breading via naked grilled tenders and extra celery.
Skip the default basket. Slop Score 88.
