Crispy Chicken Tenders with Dipping Sauce
Introduction
Golden, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside — these homemade chicken tenders beat any fast-food version. Paired with a creamy, tangy dipping sauce, they’re perfect for weeknight dinners, game day snacks, or meal prep.
History
Chicken tenders (the pectoralis minor muscle) became popular in the 1970s–80s in the U.S., first appearing in restaurants like Puritan Backroom (Manchester, NH) around 1974. The dipping sauce culture exploded with the rise of fast-food chains.
