History of Chicken Tenders–
Chicken fingers, also known as chicken goujons, chicken strips, chicken tenders, and chicken nuggets, are chicken meat prepared from the pectoralis minor muscles of the chicken. These strips of white meat are located on either side of the breastbone, under the breast meat. They may also be made with pieces cut from chicken meat, usually the breast.
Chicken fingers are prepared by coating chicken meat in a breading mixture and then deep frying them, in a manner similar to the preparation of schnitzel.
Chicken tenders were first made in Manchester, New Hampshire at the Puritan Backroom in 1974. Restaurants in Savannah, Georgia, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana have challenged this claim, although the general consensus supports the claim in Manchester.
