Chicken tenders are a popular dish that features strips of white meat chicken, typically breaded and fried for a crispy exterior. Originating in American cuisine, they are often served as a convenient finger food or snack, paired with dipping sauces like ranch, barbecue, or honey mustard. The breading usually consists of flour, breadcrumbs, or seasoned batter, while spices are sometimes added for extra flavor. Chicken tenders are rich in protein, which supports muscle growth and repair, making them a good option for those seeking a protein-rich meal. However, due to frying, they can be high in fat and calories, especially if accompanied by sugary sauces. Baking or air-frying alternatives can offer a healthier preparation method, reducing fat content while preserving their signature crunchy texture. Chicken tenders are versatile and can fit into various dietary plans when prepared mindfully.
