Sweet BBQ Chicken Tenders
What it is
These are pre-cooked chicken tenders coated in a sweet barbecue sauce. They are made from chicken breast that has been breaded and fried before being tossed in the sauce. The sauce provides a tangy and sweet flavor profile, making them a convenient option for a quick meal or snack. They are typically found in the frozen section of grocery stores.
