Chicken tenders, also known as chicken fillets or chicken strips, are lean, boneless cuts of white meat taken from the chicken's pectoralis minor muscle, located beneath the breast. They have a mild, savory flavor and a tender, slightly chewy texture. Raw chicken tenders are typically pale pink in color, becoming opaque white when fully cooked. They are a popular and versatile ingredient due to their quick cooking time and ability to absorb flavors well. Whether you're looking for a healthy protein source or a kid-friendly meal option, chicken tenders offer a convenient and delicious choice.

Fresh chicken tenders should be refrigerated immediately after purchase at a temperature below 40°F (4°C). Use or freeze within 1-2 days for best quality. To freeze, wrap the tenders individually or in a single layer on a baking sheet before placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn. Frozen chicken tenders can be stored for up to 9 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking; never thaw at room temperature.
