What Is the Bojangles Plain Biscuit?
The Bojangles Plain Biscuit is a made-from-scratch biscuit with a golden, fluffy, buttery exterior. It’s made with buttermilk, which gives it a light tang, while the soft, layered inside offers a balance of fluff and a slight crunch at the edges. A lightly buttered top rounds out the flavor. It’s one of Bojangles’ signature items, prized for its simplicity.

Ingredients
The Plain Biscuit is made with flour, butter, baking powder, salt, shortening, and a touch of sugar – a traditional Southern biscuit recipe. Bojangles does not publish its full proprietary recipe, so some processing aids or shortening components aren’t listed in consumer-facing ingredient summaries.
Allergen Information
The Bojangles Plain Biscuit contains wheat, milk, and soy. It does not contain egg, fish, peanuts, tree nuts, or shellfish.
The soy allergen typically comes from processing aids (such as in the shortening) rather than a visible ingredient, which is why it doesn’t appear obvious from the ingredient list alone.
Important: Bojangles does not have an allergen-free kitchen – all items are prepared using shared equipment, so cross-contact is possible. If you have a severe allergy, ask staff directly or check Bojangles’ official allergen guide before ordering.

Health Considerations
The sodium content is the main thing worth watching if you’re tracking daily intake – it’s the highest-impact number on this list relative to typical daily limits. The carb count also makes this a poor fit for low-carb eating plans.
Tip: Pairing the biscuit with a lighter side, like fruit or a salad, helps balance out a meal built around it.
Is It Available All Day?
Yes – most Bojangles locations serve the Plain Biscuit all day. Some locations may have specific breakfast-hour restrictions on certain biscuit sandwiches, so it’s worth checking with your local restaurant if you’re ordering outside typical breakfast hours. For typical open and breakfast cutoffs, see the Bojangles hours guide.
