Local Chick-fil-A Wins Chicken Tender Taste Test
A recent taste test of chicken tenders from three popular fast-food chains has declared a local favorite the winner. The contenders? Zaxby’s, PDQ, and Chick-fil-A.
The taste tester started at Chick-fil-A, sampling a three-count chicken strip meal. The tenders were deemed “crispy” and “well-seasoned,” with a reasonable price point and portion size.
Next up was PDQ. While the tenders were larger than Chick-fil-A’s and impressively tender, they proved a bit unwieldy to eat due to their almost too tender texture. The seasoning was also enjoyed.
Finally, Zaxby’s kid’s meal (offering two tenders, fries, a Rice Krispies Treat, and a drink) was reviewed. Although flavorful and cooked perfectly, the tenders were ultimately deemed too salty, landing them in last place.
In conclusion, Chick-fil-A’s chicken tenders took the top spot, striking the perfect balance of crispiness, seasoning, and value. The reviewer anticipates a return trip in the near future.
