My tenders were very juicy. The breading was a mix of soft and crunchy bits; crunchier with more breading than Chick-fil-A's version but not as crunchy as KFC's Extra Crispy Strips. They were seasoned enough for added flavor and just a wee bit on the salty side (for me, but probably just right for most people).
My main nitpick would have to be the size of the tenders which aren't small per se; it's roughly comparable to what the other chains are offering. It's about half the size of the mutant chicken tenders shown in the commercial though. I know there's always some embellishment in advertising, but half is a lot!

I ordered it with the bbq sauce, which not only came in a plastic container, but WAS THE SAME as their regular barbecue sauce! So bizarre. I liked them, I did not love them. They're better than most any fast food strips, though.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they figure a plastic mini cup is somehow fancier or something... I agree it is quite bizarre...
ReplyDeleteI guess maybe the cup is a bit wider for easier dipping?
I will be seeking a refund, like you said, advertisement embellishes a little, but these tenders were HUGELY different in size.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing my wife and I did was say "WHAT!?" and stare at eachother with "hello floor, this is my chin, chin, this is the floor" look.
I have never in my life seen food advertisers oversize their food THIS much, I just watched the commercial again and the chichen tenders in the commercial are at least FOUR TIMES BIGGER.
Yeah, the commercial tenders look like they must have come from a turkey-sized chicken or something.
ReplyDeleteregarding the commerical with the 2 dingbats, one of which worked at Carl's Jr...why would I want to eat the same thing 2 lazy idiots eat?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I thought that myself when I first saw the commercial.
