About One chicken tender
A chicken tender is a single strip of white meat chicken, typically breaded and fried, though it can also be baked for a lighter option. Popular in American cuisine, chicken tenders are a staple comfort food often served with dipping sauces like ranch, barbecue, or honey mustard. The breading is usually made from flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings, which add flavor and texture. Chicken tenders are high in protein due to the lean chicken meat, making them a satisfying option when consumed in moderation. However, when fried, they may contain significant amounts of fat and calories, depending on the cooking method and oil used. For a healthier alternative, some recipes substitute whole-grain breading and bake instead of fry. Chicken tenders are versatile, enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal, offering a balance of convenience and comfort to suit various dietary preferences.
