Help our reader out: Build the itinerary for a "Chicken Tender Crawl"
Filed Under: We're Here to Help
Received this AMAZING and elaborate question over the Meal Ticket wire just now:
"I have a friend who pretty much only eats chicken tenders — literally every day. I've therefore decided to put together a 'Chicken Tender Crawl,' in which a number of us will spend a day going to multiple locations throughout Philly, getting an order of chicken fingers/tenders/nuggets at each stop to sample them. At the end of the day, he will name his favorite. The problem is, I don't know what places have good chicken tenders, and he divides his time almost solely between Chick-fil-A, McDonald's and Famous Dave's. If you know of any places that would be suitable for this venture, I would very much appreciate it. Additionally, he will not eat any sauces whatsoever. So the criteria for the quality must be based entirely on the chicken itself."
First of all, this dude rules. Secondly, we want to open it up to you, Meal Ticketers — who's serves the best completely sauceless, boneless, formed-into-a-shape-that-stands-at-odds-with-nature chicken products in Philly? (They do not have to be shaped like dinosaurs, but bonus points if they are.) Our go-to chicken fingers are definitely the pretzel-crusted ones at The Sidecar (2201 Christian St.), but we want to hear from you. Have at it in the comments!

Sidecar was definitely my first choice, nice one DL. Although I prefer a bone in my fried chicken, I can get down with tenders once in a while. Good Dog makes a really tasty chicken cordon bleu tender.— rascal b. schuylkillian- I logged on to mention Good Dog's chicken cordon bleu tender as well. Definitely top notch.— laurelro

- Was gonna say you have to include JG Domestic's Jidori chicken, which was fingers encrusted in cornflakes... but a glance at their online menus shows it's now herb-roasted. Why, Jose, why?— danya
