Burger King's new Chicken Tenders are pretty much your run-of-the-mill plain chicken nuggets. They replace BK's prior crown-shaped Chicken Tenders. They're available on BK's value at four pieces for $1. I picked up the
20-piece for $4.99 (saved a penny right?) which comes in a rather plain box. My local BK had the 8-piece going for $2.99 for some odd reason.
In terms of texture, the new Chicken Tenders slots somewhere between
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets and
Wendy's Chicken Nuggets. It's a mix of battered and breaded that remains crisp. Seasoning is plain and seems like just some salt thought you can see pepper in the crust.
The chicken skirted the line between juicy and dry; I think an extra millimeter or two of thickness would have swung it closer to juicy. They're just okay for me but that doesn't mean I can't stand there and absent-mindedly eat half the box.
Bottomline? They're not something I'd go to BK solely to get but I might get the new Chicken Tenders if I were at BK and in a nugget kind of mood but then again, I might just get the more interesting
Spicy Chick'N Crisp for the same dollar. Overall, the new Chicken Tenders were just plain average which is actually an improvement over
the old ones.
