How do you guys feel about chicken tenders?

I realize since it's breaded it's not something to make a habit out of, but if you're out and you need to eat is it okay once in a while? Usually seems like one of the better options at restaurants. Plus they are delicious =)

I don't eat them because they're breaded. Most chicken tenders are frozen after being fried, so there's that also. A lot of places offer a not breaded alternative. Chick FIl A has "naked" nuggets (unbreaded grilled chicken bits), and Wendy's offers a grilled chicken piece vs a breaded chicken piece in just about every chicken item they sell.

I get grilled where I go and where I go I usually already no what I can get. I don't do breaded or fried. If it's a Wendy's Iv done chili, grilled chicken breast no bun etc.. we go to ruby's I get the grilled salmon or I'll get the plain turkey burger again no bun no lettuce(my choice ) and get grilled zuchinni or grilled green beans..????

I have done it once in a situation where there were no other options that would work for me. What I learned is that I could barely eat it because it was actually gross. I am very sensitive to anything fried in oil.

I do however eat chick fil a grilled nuggets with a side of fruit. That is probably one of the better fast food solutions.

Mostly I stay away or now I can actually tolerate salad if I end up at a fast food place with other people.

I think there are typically much much better options. I go for any type of seafood ..broiled, steamed, grilled first, Then chicken or turkey or pork..if cooked right.

Yeah, if you can avoid the chicken tenders, that would be great. If you only have them like once or twice a year, probably not too bad if you can tolerate them but for me, once I allow myself to eat something, even if I say it will only be once or twice, I end up eating it much more often. So, it's best to not get into bad habits. If you can find something better, you should. Like someone else suggested, it's not just the breading, it the fact that they are fried as well that isn't good.

Best of luck! Sometimes it's hard!!

She said chicken tenders there is a difference and I buy them fresh and bread them myself with my own seasonings and then bake them and yes, they are delicious !

I stand corrected. Fair enough! ????
