About Tenders
Tenders are a popular appetizer or meal made from boneless chicken breast that's sliced into strips, coated in breadcrumbs or batter, and fried or baked until crispy. Originating from American cuisine, they are loved for their crunchy texture and juicy interior. While chicken tenders are a good source of protein, their health profile can vary depending on preparation methods. Fried tenders may be higher in fat and calories due to oil content, while baked versions can be a lighter option. They often come paired with dipping sauces, which can add sugars, sodium, and calories. To make them healthier, you can use whole-grain breadcrumbs, air frying, or baking, and pair them with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables or quinoa. Perfect for quick meals or snacking, chicken tenders combine convenience and flavor in a way that appeals to both kids and adults.
