About Fried chicken tender

Fried Chicken Tenders are a popular dish rooted in American Southern cuisine, known for their crispy, golden-brown exterior and juicy, tender chicken inside. Typically made from boneless chicken breast or thighs, they are coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb mixture before being deep-fried or pan-fried. While they offer a protein-packed option, they are also higher in calories and fat due to the frying process and may contain added sodium depending on the preparation. Paired with healthier sides like fresh vegetables or whole grains, they can be enjoyed as part of a balanced meal. Variations of chicken tenders can be baked for a lighter option. Despite their indulgent reputation, they remain a favorite comfort food, appreciated for their satisfying crunch and versatile flavor.
