A chicken tender is the small, boneless tenderloin muscle found beneath the breast. It cooks quickly, stays tender and moist, and has a mild flavor; useful for stir-fries, skewers, and breaded cutlets. Sold fresh or frozen, often pre-trimmed.\n\nModern poultry processing popularized the cut in North America in the late 20th century, spreading through casual dining and home kitchens. It is now widely produced from broiler chickens and distributed globally.
