  5. The Filet Mignon of Chicken: Your Chicken Feast external link

    6 April 2011, 9:07 pm

    According to a study cited by The New York Times, the consumption of chicken has increased over the last decade just as Americans have been eating less red meat. More affordable and easier to prepare,  white meat chicken can be a delicious alternative to other meats. At Golden Chick, we use chicken tenderloins, the filet mignon of chicken, to make our juicy, delicious Original Golden Tenders™.

    What Is A Chicken Tenderloin?

    Simply put, chicken tenderloin is, “a strip of muscle that runs along the inside of the breast, the part of the breast closest to the bone”. In other words, the chicken tenderloin is the juiciest, most tender part of the chicken.

    Why Is It So Good?

    The more often a muscle is used, the more that muscle develops and the tougher the resulting meat will be. Being so close to the bone, the chicken tenderloin muscle is rarely used and remains tender and succulent.

     Should I Be On Alert for Imposters?

    Unfortunately, yes.  “Chicken tenderloin” is not a technical term; it’s simply a phrase that’s come into use. Therefore, the USDA has little control over what is sold under the “chicken tenderloin” label.  Some fast food restaurants may try to pass off ground chicken that’s been reprocessed into strips as chicken tenderloin.

    At Golden Chick, we guarantee that every Golden Tender™ is made from genuine, chicken tenderloin, and we take pride in providing the quality, delicious fried chicken that you love. Visit one of our 90 locations today!

  6. In the Kitchen: Southern Fried Chicken external link

    6 April 2011, 8:57 pm

    In this YouTube video, learn how to prepare Southern Fried Chicken in your own home. For crispy, delicious fried chicken, the video recommends marinating the chicken in buttermilk for up to 24 hours, frying the chicken pieces four at a time, and keeping the finished pieces warm in a 250 degree oven while the rest of the chicken fries.

    At Golden Chick, we only use whole chicken tenderloins that are marinated, hand-battered, and then cooked to golden perfection.

  7. What it Takes to Make a Chicken Tender external link

    6 April 2011, 7:09 pm

    Whether your mother made them from a bag in the freezer, your dad brought them home from a restaurant, or they were the most popular item in your school cafeteria, chicken tenders are a quintessential American staple. They’re so enduringly popular that NBC comedy Community even dedicated an entire episode to a student crime syndicate powered by chicken tenders!

    Although we don’t provide the chicken tenders for Greendale Community College, we do have Texas and Oklahoma covered. And we share the same sentiment with the Community that fried chicken tenders are too good to turn down. However, they can be difficult to make, and the success of homemade chicken tenders often counts on the following:

    Use the Right Part of the Chicken

    Recipes may call for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but using the entire breast may not yield a juicy, succulent result. The chicken tender, while attached to the breast, is a part of the chicken that is most tender. At Golden Chick, we use whole chicken tenderloin, the filet mignon of chicken, to make our Original Golden Tenders™.

    Use the Right Recipe

    While experimenting with cooking and new recipes can lead to bold and exciting flavors, to guarantee that classic chicken tender flavor takes a few time-honored, traditional steps. That’s why Golden Chick marinates, hand-batters, and cooks our Original Golden Tenders™ to delicious golden perfection every time.

    For over 40 years, we have been satisfying the Southwest’s taste for chicken tenders and fried chicken. For a delicious and convenient meal, come visit us at one of our 90 locations throughout Texas and Oklahoma. The Golden Tender™: The Original and Still the Best!
