Chef Explains The Difference Between Chicken Strips and Tenders
A HuffPost UK article explores the definitive difference between chicken strips and chicken tenders, sparked by a Reddit post. According to culinary experts and the New York Times, chicken tenders are specifically the pectoralis minor muscle of the chicken breast, a tender piece not used for walking or flapping. Chef Charlie Pappas is credited with first frying this cut alone in the 1970s, naming it 'chicken tenders.' In contrast, chicken strips can be made from any part of the chicken, though they are often breast meat. The article highlights public surprise at the distinction, with some commenters noting that 'chicken tenders' is an American term for what Brits call mini fillets. The piece also includes related trivia about bricked-up windows and towel borders.
