Is It Good for You?

This is a big combo, so it helps to know what you’re getting before you order. The figures below add up the 5-piece Korean BBQ Chicken Strips, a medium fries and a medium Coca-Cola. Here is how each nutrient looks.

  • Calories: At 1,360 calories for the full medium combo, this is a high-calorie meal that suits a very big appetite or a special-occasion order. The strips make up 740, the fries 350 and the Coca-Cola 250.
  • Total Fat: The combo carries 49g of fat, with 33g from the strips and 16g from the fries. That’s a lot of fat in one sitting, so it’s worth a thought if you keep an eye on it.
  • Saturated Fat: Saturated fat adds up to 5.5g, split between the strips (3g) and the fries (2.5g). It’s a small share of the total fat, so it isn’t the main concern here.
    Trans Fat: Trans fat is only 0.2g, and it all comes from the chicken strips. The fries and the drink have none.
  • Cholesterol: The combo has 100mg of cholesterol, all of it from the strips. The fries and the Coca-Cola contain none.
  • Sodium: Sodium is high at 2,860mg, and the strips alone account for 2,350mg of it, with 510mg from the fries. Anyone who prefers lighter-salt meals should think twice about this one.
  • Total Carbohydrate: Carbs reach 186g and mainly provide quick energy for a long day or a hard workout. They come from the strips (72g), the Coca-Cola (67g) and the fries (47g).
  • Dietary Fibre: Fibre is low at 7g, with 4g from the fries and 3g from the strips. It adds only a small digestive benefit to such a large meal.
  • Total Sugars: Sugar is high at 88g, and the Coca-Cola supplies 67g of it. The strips add 21g, while the fries add none.
  • Protein: With 47g of protein, mostly from the strips (42g), this combo can keep you full and help your body recover after activity. It’s a strong protein showing, though it comes packaged with plenty of calories.
  • Calcium: Calcium is minimal at 5% DV, so this meal isn’t a meaningful source.
  • Iron: Iron is a real highlight at 30% DV, coming mostly from the strips (23%) with a little from the fries (7%).
  • Potassium: Potassium reaches 47% DV, led by the fries (24%) and the strips (20%). The drink adds just 3%.

Overall Verdict: This is a hearty, protein-rich combo, but it’s very high in calories, sodium and sugar, so it’s best saved for an occasional treat or a day when you’re really hungry. If you’d like a lighter meal, the strips and fries deliver the protein and nutrients, while the Coca-Cola adds most of the sugar.

What Does It Contain?

The combo combines breaded chicken nuggets, seasoned French fries, and Sprite. Chicken and breading create the savory base, while the fries and soda add their own seasoning and sweetness.

  • Chicken Breast Meat: Provides the main chicken component and contributes the base savory flavor.
  • Wheat Flour: Forms part of the nugget breading and helps create its outer coating.
  • Toasted Wheat Crumbs: Add more breading and contribute to the nugget’s texture.
  • Garlic Powder: Adds a light savory garlic note to the breading.
  • Spice: Provides the seasoning used in the nugget coating.
  • Canola and/or Soybean Oil: Used in the breading and cooking process.
  • Potatoes: Form the main ingredient in the French fries.
  • Sea Salt: Adds the finishing salty taste to the fries.
  • Sugar/Glucose-Fructose: Provides the sweetness in the Sprite.
  • Natural Flavour: Helps provide Sprite’s listed flavor profile.

Flavor & Texture

Five strips mean plenty of that savory, sticky-sweet Korean BBQ flavor in every bite. The fries add a plain, salty counterpoint, and the Coca-Cola brings fizzy sweetness to wash it all down. Compared with the Classic Chicken Strips Combo, the barbecue profile is the main thing that sets this one apart.

Quick Flavor Notes

  • Flavor: Salty and savory first, with a mellow barbecue sweetness that builds as you work through the strips.
  • Sweetness: The strips are only lightly sweet, so most of the meal’s sugary note comes from the cola.
  • Texture: The strips and fries are easy to eat by hand, and the cola’s bubbles refresh your palate between bites.
  • Aftertaste: A salty-sweet finish lingers on the tongue, and a sip of cola softens it.

Is It a Healthy Choice?

This is a very large, energy-dense meal, and it shows in the calories, sodium and sugar. It does offer real strengths too, especially protein, iron and potassium. The chicken strips drive most of the salt, while the drink drives most of the sugar.

  • You need a big, high-energy meal
  • You’re after plenty of protein
  • You want a decent iron boost
  • You’d like a good potassium boost
  • You’re fueling a long, active day
  • You’re watching your sodium intake
  • You’re cutting back on sugar or soda
  • You want a lighter, lower-calorie meal
  • You prefer meals with more fiber
  • You’re keeping total fat low

Similar Menu Items Compared

In the Wendy’s Combos Menu, this five-strip combo sits at the top of the group on price. The real question is how many strips you want and how much extra you’ll pay for the Korean BBQ flavor. If you’d rather keep the meal smaller or cheaper, the three-strip and nugget combos are the lighter ways to go.

Is It Worth the Cost?

You get five strips, a medium fries and a medium Coca-Cola, which makes for a very full plate with a strong protein and iron showing. If you’ll finish it all, that substance makes the price easier to justify. If you usually eat less, the 3 PC. Classic Chicken Strips Combo costs $4.80 less and may be the better fit.

The Wendy’s 5-Piece Korean BBQ Chicken Strips Combo is a good choice for hungry diners who want a filling meal with a bold barbecue twist. Its biggest strength is the generous protein and iron that come with all that savory-sweet flavor, and its biggest drawback is the very high sodium, sugar and calorie load. That puts it firmly in occasional-treat territory rather than everyday-lunch territory. The price is fair if you’re hungry enough to finish it, but lighter eaters can spend less elsewhere. Before you order, the Wendy’s Full Menu is a handy place to compare portion sizes and prices. If big appetites and barbecue flavor are what you’re after, this combo delivers.
