Chicken strips, also known as chicken tenders or fingers, are a popular dish made from boneless chicken breast coated in seasoned breadcrumbs or batter, then fried or baked to a crispy golden finish. Originating in the United States, these tenders have become a staple in fast-food menus and home kitchens worldwide. Rich in protein from the chicken, they provide essential nutrients for muscle repair and growth. However, their healthiness depends on preparation methods. Baked options are lower in fat, while fried versions can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium. Opting for whole-grain coatings or incorporating herbs and spices instead of salt can make them a more nutritious choice. Chicken strips are versatile and often paired with dips or served alongside salads, fries, or vegetables, appealing to both kids and adults. Moderation and careful preparation are key to enjoying this comfort food responsibly.
