While many [QSR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-hot-honey-chicken) and FSR chains have rolled out their own take on the classic chicken sandwich, Denny's version is a little bit different. Instead of a crispy chicken fillet, Denny's new Honey Buttermilk Chicken Tender Sandwich is made with premium golden-fried chicken tenderloins tossed in a sweet honey buttermilk glaze. The golden brown chicken is then paired with crisp lettuce and pickles, served on a split top bun. For those who aren't a fan of the sweet and savory combo, Denny's also offers the chicken tenders tossed with Buffalo or BBQ sauce.
