Summary of Gluten Free Menu Options at Church’s Chicken

Pro tips and a quick summary of everything gluten free at Church’s Chicken

  1. When you order at the restaurant or online/in the app for delivery/pickup, tell them you have an allergy or Celiac Disease so they take precautions with your food.
  2. Church’s Chicken has very limited gluten free options and is not a good spot for people with Celiac Disease or a severe allergy to wheat/gluten. They have a few sides, sauces, and mainly beverages.
  3. Church’s Chicken does not have a listing on Find Me Gluten Free. This is likely due to their lack of options for gluten free consumers. We recommend finding a local chain for gluten free fried chicken, wings, and tenders options near you.
  4. Personal experiences here are unknown, but I will update this post if I ever get to try the limited options available at Church’s Chicken for people allergic to gluten.
