Bonchon Coleslaw — Price & Calories 2026
Crisp shredded cabbage and carrots in a sweet, creamy dressing — the other free-side option with chicken, and the most effective heat-fighter on the menu thanks to the dairy in the dressing.
The Creamy Heat-Fighter
Bonchon Coleslaw is crisp shredded cabbage and carrots in a sweet, creamy dressing — slightly tangy and cooling. Along with pickled radish, it is one of the two complimentary sides many locations include with any chicken order.
At $2.05 and 120 calories, it is one of the most affordable paid sides — but its real value is functional. The dairy in the creamy dressing chemically neutralizes capsaicin (the compound behind spicy heat), so a bite of coleslaw between pieces of Spicy chicken genuinely reduces the burn rather than just masking it.
