The Chicken Strip Basket

The basket is the center of the DQ food menu: hand-breaded white-meat strips, regular fries, Texas toast and country gravy. Many restaurants list the 4-piece as a fixed $6.99 deal, and the Sauced & Tossed versions coat the strips in Honey BBQ or Parmesan Garlic. A basket with a medium drink is the price of the basket plus $2.99.
