About Southern fried chicken tender

Southern Fried Chicken Tenders are a classic dish rooted in Southern American cuisine, celebrated for their crispy, golden-brown exterior and juicy interior. These tenders are typically made from all-white chicken breast strips, marinated to enhance flavor and tenderness, then coated in a seasoned mixture of flour, spices, and sometimes buttermilk before being deep-fried to perfection. While they boast a satisfying crunch and rich flavor, they are fried in oil, making them higher in fat and calories compared to other preparation methods like baking or grilling. On the positive side, they provide a good source of protein, essential for muscle repair and energy. Pairing them with nutrient-rich sides like steamed vegetables or opting for a baked option can make this indulgent dish a more balanced choice without sacrificing its comforting appeal.
