August 7, 20196 yr I'd say Popeye's but if I ordered tenders there I'd wind up with a mixed 3 piece and a family size tub of red beans and rice.
August 7, 20196 yr The Chicken Express spicy tenders are pretty damn solid. Golden Chik ain’t bad either. @ztejas What the hell is wrong with that?

August 7, 20196 yr I am a fan. But the boy is gunshy. We went to a friend's ranch for a work weekend before deer season. Picked up orders of tenders for dinner to eat on the road. The next morning, the boy and I are painting a deer blind, and he says "gimme the keys, we gotta run back to the house." He drove -- FAST -- back to the house. And was inside for 20 minutes. I ask what happened, he says "man....those tenders gave me Krakatoa down belowa." So, he has requested DQ on our next trip.

My top tender meal would be Chicken E tenders Bush's Fries Chicken E biscuit I consider Bush's, Chicken E, Raising Cane's, and Golden Chick to be the tender chicken places. A completely different thing than other chicken establishments.

Sorry for the haha rep but the Krakatoa comment made blow Crown Royal everywhere.. been there done that, but it's funny if it happens to someone else..
August 7, 20196 yr Author Golden Chik and Chicken Express are the same restaurant. Same menu, same prices, same food... just different sign out front

August 7, 20196 yr I'm just glad that no one has mentioned Lisa's. Because the last time I ordered tenders there, I ate one, and then threw the whole thing away. So overcooked that the chicken was coming apart in strings, and no seasoning in the breading.
August 7, 20196 yr ^ I’ve posted on the FW thread that I’ve had the Lisa’s on Division numerous times, never had that issue. But their fish is better.

Explain to him that it wasn't necessarily the food, it could have just been somebody with fresh fecal matter on their hands who rubbed it all over the restaurant. That should make him want to try it again.
August 7, 20196 yr Google tells me Golden Chick is owned by Golden Tree Restaurants LLC, opened in 1967, headquartered out of Richardson. Chicken E owned by Stuart Group Inc, started in 1988 in Benbrook, now run out of Burleson.

August 7, 20196 yr I've tried almost every chicken strip imaginable in South Texas because that's basically the only fast food my kids will eat. They are all either too salty or not salty enough. I'd probably go with a dark horse: bill Miller if i had to choose.
August 7, 20196 yr Popeyes chicken tenders aren't bad but their prices are crazy. A 3 piece combo is like $9 now. Might as well just order take out from a real restaurant for that price.

August 7, 20196 yr They are good, both CE and GC. They both do a bang up job with juicy white meat and consistently crisp crust. Tasty. One problem, though. They achieve "spicy," if that's your thing, by dusting with cayenne or a pepper powder. Marinated spicy with cayenne in the batter, ala Popeye's, is so much better.

Feel like this is the 5th time I've read about your kid almost shitting himself. Maybe he's got the crohns.

August 7, 20196 yr Never been to Chicken Express, but I tend to eat chicken on the bone like a grownass man. If I'm eating boneless fry chicken it's likely to be Chic Fil A.
August 7, 20196 yr I love Chicken E. Not really a chicken joint but Dan's has a great tender meal as well.

August 7, 20196 yr The thing about chicken tenders is, not only is it child's food, but you can make them at home with incredible ease. And the homemade ones taste better than any of these fuckin places as long as you remember to double dredge and keep your oil hot.
August 8, 20196 yr Feel like this is the 5th time I've read about your kid almost shitting himself. Maybe he's got the crohns.Naahhh, I’ve just repeated the story because the Krakatoa thing always makes me laugh.

August 8, 20196 yr No one has mentioned Raising Cane's? Seriously I've been a few times and they are good, but not worthy of some of the hype they get from the younger crowd like my teenage sons.

Kids eat them with ketchup because they're kids. I like to toss them in Franks wing sauce and either dip them in blue cheese or make a buffalo chicken wrap. good quick easy dinner.
