- I tried chicken tenders from Popeyes, Chick-fil-A, Whataburger, Raising Cane's, KFC, Bojangles, Zaxby's, and Cook Out.
- Popeyes' and KFC's chicken tenders were similar in their crispy texture and flavor.
- Raising Cane's impressed me with its crispy-yet-juicy tenders and delicious signature sauce.
I compared chicken tenders from eight different fast-food chains from across the country, and a lesser-known — but quickly expanding — chain took the top spot.
