Kids Chicken Fingers at Olive Garden are lightly breaded chicken tenders priced at $6.99 for children under 12, delivering 300 calories per serving. The full meal including a side choice and 1% low-fat milk completes the plate. At 300 calories and 15 grams of fat, this is the lowest-calorie protein-centric kids' option at the restaurant, lower than either of the pasta plates. The chicken fingers are lightly breaded rather than heavily coated, which keeps the calorie count lower than most fast-food and casual dining equivalents.
Kids Chicken Fingers provide a non-pasta option for children who prefer finger food over plate meals — a practical choice for younger children who are still developing utensil skills. The light breading also means the actual chicken flavor comes through more clearly than in heavily battered alternatives. At $6.99, they sit at the same price point as all other kids' meals at the restaurant and include the standard side-and-milk format for a complete all-in-one plate.

Ketchup is the standard accompaniment. Guests can typically request alternative dipping options including marinara sauce from the restaurant's daily preparation. Confirm with your server for the available dipping sauce options.
No. The chicken fingers are lightly breaded with a wheat-based coating. Guests managing gluten sensitivity should order from the dedicated gluten-sensitive section of the kids' menu, which includes gluten-free rotini pasta options.
