chicken tender
Fried poultry finger
A chicken tender is a strip of breast meat, specifically the tenderloin—a small muscle running along the underside of the breast.
The term also applies to breaded and fried strips of chicken in general, regardless of which part they come from: We ordered chicken tenders and fries.
A staple of fast food and children's menus.
