How are Comet Chicken tenders prepared?
Our tenders are the real deal—actual chicken tenders, not breast meat cut into strips. Each one is boneless, skinless, all white meat chicken, hand-breaded in-house and fried to crispy perfection (or grilled for a lighter option).
We’re proud to use Redbird chicken, sourced right here in Colorado. That means:
-
No antibiotics ever
-
Fed an all-vegetarian diet
-
Humanely raised & cage free
-
No additives or preservatives
-
No added hormones
-
Chickens are rested before processing for better flavor and tenderness
The result? Juicy, flavorful tenders you can feel good about eating. Learn more about our chicken partner at Redbird Farms

Are gluten-free buns available?
Yes! We offer gluten-free buns that can be paired with any of our chicken sandwiches. Just ask when ordering online or in-store.
How is the Nashville Hot Sandwich different from the Buffalo Sandwich?
The Nashville Hot Sandwich features a bold, spicy dry rub created exclusively for Comet Chicken, delivering a one-of-a-kind, heat-forward flavor. The Buffalo Sandwich, on the other hand, is tossed in our classic tangy Buffalo sauce. Both come topped with our house slaw and paired with scratch-made sauces.
Does Comet Chicken offer delivery?
Yes. Comet Chicken partners with NoCO Nosh, DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub so you can enjoy your favorites at home. Visit our delivery page to start your order.
What salads are available at Comet Chicken?
We keep it fresh with two signature salads, both topped with our hand-breaded or grilled tenders:
- House Salad – Greens, radish, carrot, cucumber, tomato, plus 2 tenders
- Cobb Salad – Greens, bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, tomato, egg, plus 2 tenders
Both are hearty, flavorful, and can be customized with your favorite sauces.
What’s the difference between Comet’s crispy and grilled chicken?
Crispy chicken is hand-breaded and fried in-house for a crunchy bite, while grilled chicken is marinated and flame-grilled for a leaner, lighter flavor. Both are available for tenders, sandwiches, salads, and bowls.
How does Comet Chicken give back to the community?
We’re proud to be a local Fort Collins and Loveland original and regularly support local fundraisers, schools, and community events. Check our philanthropy page for more info.
