FOOD: Here Are Chains Using REAL Chicken In Their Tenders

Here Are Chains Using REAL Chicken In Their Tenders

You might be shocked to learn…not all fast-food chains use real chicken meat for their tenders. We’re not talking mystery meat – it’s the difference between using actual chicken pieces and that other chopped/blended/formed mush. Now, the folks at “EatThis, NotThat!” folks have compiled the chains that actually use the real thing. They are:

• Carl’s Jr. – As with their sister restaurant Hardee’s (it’s Carl’s in the west, Hardee’s in the east), this chain’s chicken tenders are cut from whole strips of breast meat before being hand-dipped in buttermilk, breaded and fried.
• Chick-fil-A – They use whole pieces of chicken for their boneless strips and nuggets. They’re seasoned and pressure-cooked in peanut oil for flavor.
• Church’s Chicken – Church’s fans know why the chain has been around since 1952. Aside from their bone-in chicken, there’s a chicken sandwich and chicken tenders made from whole cuts of white meat.
• KFC – Their deep-fried tenders are also made from whole cut pieces of battered, spiced chicken meat.
• Popeyes – You’ll find their tenders as whole strips of chicken meat, too. But The Kitchn points out that a ‘tender’ is the strip of meat hanging off of the chicken breast. So is it chicken breast? Nope…but it is the real deal.
• Raising Cane’s – his chain only sells chicken strips that are fresh, marinated for a full day, never frozen, hand-cut, hand-battered and fried to order.
• Whataburger – Sure, they’re known for burgers, but Whatachick’n Strips aren’t half stepped. The company uses whole pieces of white breast meat.
