Chicken tenders are a popular dish made from strips of boneless, skinless chicken breast that are breaded and deep-fried or baked until golden and crispy. Often associated with American cuisine, their origins trace back to Southern cooking traditions. Typically seasoned with a blend of spices, the coating can include flour, breadcrumbs, or panko for added texture. Chicken tenders are a good source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and energy. However, their healthiness depends on preparation. Fried versions are higher in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, which can contribute to health concerns if consumed in excess. Opting for baked versions and pairing them with fresh vegetables or whole-grain sides makes them a more balanced choice. Popular among all ages, chicken tenders are versatile and customizable, appealing to a wide variety of palates.
