Great Value Famous Chicken Fingers, 48 oz (Frozen)

The first time I purchased these chicken strips, my youngest son, who happens to be in his early 20s, stated, "these are the best tenders I've ever had. " So I started purchasing them regularly. I prepare them in the air fryer for the best results, and we eat them plain, put them on top of salad, or put them in a wrap.

When I initially bought these chicken fingers for my husband, he made fun of the 'famous' chicken fingers title. However, he is now a huge fan after trying them (my husband loves to eat, but is also very selective and specific for what he will eat so it's a gamble with any brand he hasn't tried previously). I love that these are not 'precooked' chicken, as I find that the precooked chicken tenders are sometimes not the highest quality on the meat itself, but we were still skeptical with it these being a 'store brand'. Fortunately, my husband was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the meat and found the breading to be crunchy and seasoned perfectly! They make a great lunch or dinner if you are crunched for time, they do not take long to cook and are easy to pair with some sides for a full meal in only about 30 minutes. They are a hit snack with some dipping sauce on GameDay, or for a twist you can cook them and then toss them with your favorite wing sauce and that version is very popular at our house, even with my 6 year old grandson, who is a picky eater. My only caution is to make sure you have a meat thermometer accessible to ensure the tenders have reached the right internal temperature prior to serving them, as I've found it generally takes a few more moments to cook them in our air fryer, than it does in our oven, despite both being set to the same temperature/time. I believe the reason for the difference in cooking time is due to the particular air fryer we have, as it seems to cook most items at a slower pace than our previous air fryer so I check the internal temperature to confirm rather they are done cooking. These tenders are a fantastic price and my whole family prefers them over the name brand tenders we used to buy before trying these. Definitely 5 stars across the board!
