Hand-Breaded Buttermilk Chicken Tenders: The Heavy Hitters
The Burger Beast calls these “some of the heaviest tenders I’ve encountered” in his boneless chicken adventures. The five-piece order arrives on a bed of fresh-cut fries with choice of honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch for dipping.
These aren’t light, frozen tenders—they’re hand-breaded buttermilk chicken made from real white meat sourced from humanely raised, antibiotic-free, hormone-free, vegetarian-fed animals.
The Burger Beast considers this a shareable plate unless you’re a bottomless pit, proving the generous portions reputation holds true.
The fresh-cut fries underneath soak up any sauce drippings, creating the perfect combination that shows why chicken tenders rank among North South Grill’s strong suits.
