What Comes With the Country Fried Chicken?
The Country Fried Chicken starts with a hand-battered chicken breast, fried and served on Texas toast with country gravy poured over the top. You order it as a Single piece or step up to a Double, and the plate is finished the traditional way: Idaho mashed potatoes and Southern green beans are served with it, the same pairing Cheddar’s puts under its country fried plates.
How Much Does the Country Fried Chicken Cost?
The Country Fried Chicken starts at $14.29 on Cheddar’s official menu. That starting price is for the Single, and for it you get the full plate — the hand-battered chicken on Texas toast with gravy, plus the mashed potatoes and green beans — so even the smaller size is a complete dinner. The Double is $16.29, the larger order of the same plate, built for bigger appetites.

Country Fried Chicken Nutrition and Calories
Cheddar’s lists the Country Fried Chicken at 830 to 1,250 calories, and the range comes from the two sizes, counted the way the plate is served. In the official nutrition guide, the chicken itself — the hand-battered breast on its Texas toast, with the gravy — is 610 calories for the Single and 1,030 for the Double. The mashed potatoes (160 calories) and Southern green beans (60 calories) served with it add 220, which brings the served plate to exactly the listed 830 and 1,250. The Double is also a serious sodium plate, so it is worth checking the full panel before you order.

What to Pair With the Country Fried Chicken
Honey Butter Croissants are the natural start to a country-style plate like this one. A pair of the warm, flaky croissants with house-made honey butter, from $1.99, sets the table up for a gravy-covered main better than almost anything else on the menu.
Santa Fe Spinach Dip gives the table something to share while the fried chicken is being made. The warm three-cheese dip with house-fried tortilla chips and salsa, at $9.29, is the starter that shows up next to half the entrées on this menu for a reason.
Hot Fudge Cake Sundae is the classic finish if the table still has room. After a Single — or especially a Double — the warm hot fudge cake sundae is best ordered to split.
Single or Double: Which Size Should You Order?
The Single is the starting plate at $14.29: one hand-battered chicken breast on Texas toast with country gravy, plus Idaho mashed potatoes and Southern green beans. Counted as served, it is 830 calories, with the chicken, toast and gravy accounting for 610 of those.
The Double is $16.29: the same plate with a second piece: the chicken, toast and gravy rise to 1,030 calories, and the plate as served is 1,250 calories, with 74 grams of protein. Choose it for a bigger appetite, or when the plate is the main event; the sides stay the same.
Is the Country Fried Chicken Gluten Free?
No — this is one plate to skip if you are avoiding gluten. The hand batter and the Texas toast both contain wheat, and Cheddar’s official allergen guide marks the Country Fried Chicken for wheat and gluten. It does not appear in the guide’s gluten-friendly listings, so guests who need a gluten-friendly entrée should look at the grilled side of the Chicken menu instead.
That caution comes with the chain’s standing warning: Cheddar’s kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so it cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens. If gluten is a medical concern rather than a preference, confirm the current preparation with your restaurant before ordering.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
The Country Fried Chicken is a fried plate, and the official guide’s numbers show it: 30 grams of fat in the Single and 53 in the Double before the sides, and sodium that runs from 1,770 mg in the Single to 3,020 mg in the Double, with the mashed potatoes adding a little more. On allergens, the official allergen guide marks this item for soy and dairy as well as wheat and gluten — the dairy fits the country gravy — and flags it with the guide’s fried-in-soybean-oil marker, with the sides counted separately. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur, and items cooked in the fryer carry a special risk. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
