what is really in chicken tenders, nuggets... even strips???

   Why am I blogging about this? Well people always wondered about what really is in a chicken tender or nugget. Even McNuggets "claim" they have white breast meat, but deep down... they really are processed crap.

   Other places would try to say their chicken tenders are better, even Perdue, or Tyson the big name bird companies. They have their version of chicken breast patties they call strips or tenders... and why all the different names for them anyway?

   Why are they always called strips or fingers (Chickens don't have fingers) or tenders? They don't tender the meat. The best thing to call them are strips of breast meat, cut into strips, breaded cooked (mostly fried) and served to the public. But that's what they say.

     Behind closed doors, nuggets, aren't always considered part of the breast meat. It could even the dark meat as well. I'm not a big fan of chicken nuggets. Never was, never will be. With chicken strips however, it varies. Sometimes it depends on the breading they use and if they are any good. I don't like the ones at chilli's. They really fried them to a crisp and are really, really greasy. Not a fan of that.

    Been to other places and tried chicken strips in other places. Applebees has OK chicken tenders (or whatever you want to call them) the fries however, aren't that good. The ones at Longhorn's steakhouse is OK too, but are so small and there are so many. TGI Friday's chicken tenders are OK too, not the best but not the worst.

  I don't think I'll ever find a great chicken strip meal like I would with Pizza, but don't think I want to either. Although the best pizza ever is not even in PA, it's all the way in North Carolina. But I'll blog about that another time.


Just be careful with purchasing or ordering chicken, strip wise or any other way. You'll never know if it's truly a real chicken or fake, but it's best to eat it anyway. We all need protein. Till then, Ciao bloggers.
