Extra-Juicy QSR Chicken Tenders

Captain D's Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders Come in Three Options

Captain D's Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders are the brand's latest addition to its menu that's crafted with taste, texture and quality in the spotlight to provide consumers with a premium meal experience. The chicken tenders are reported to be juicier and crispier than before, and are hand-breaded before being cooked to perfection to ensure the utmost attention to a high-quality final product. The tenders are also arriving alongside the Chick-N-D's signature dipping sauce to help customers enhance the chicken strips with as much or as little additional flavor as they'd like.

Captain D's Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders come in three options including the Big Chicken Sandwich, the Chicken Tenders Combo and the Chicken Torpedo. The various menu items come as part of the continued shift towards more premium fare in the QSR industry.
