How did chicken tenders get tarred as the default loser manchild food? Doesn't everyone like them?

I haven't bought them since college. I don't hate them and will eat them if someone offers them to me, but they're too meh to bother with getting on my own. As far as the manchild association goes, it's probably because children love them due to the tenders (or nuggets if we're including those) being soft and consistent. There are no surprises. When an adult demands the same of their food and doesn't allow for exceptions, it limits the social environment around them that involves food. Eating together is one of the oldest human customs so it's an important one to be flexible with.

Because they are usually cheap frozen slop and something a bratty teenager, mentally ill man or the mother who produced him can make which, to be honest, has a high flavor level when dipped in ketchup. You have to have cooked for a while to create something more flavorful at lower cost.

Yes everyone likes them so every restaurant has them. The meme came from the kind of person who orders them at every restaurant instead of branching out their tastes too see what else is on the menu. It's the same as watermelon and Koolaid and fried chicken being black people food; yes everyone likes those things but they have little variety of anything else.

Good chicken tenders are amazing, it's faggot queers in this this thread that constantly cry about them that keeps most restaurants from even trying. Fuck you.

They're so good
can make them out of turkey as well and people will never ever know it's turkey unless you tell them (assuming you properly trim them, like tenders need to be)

Ruth Chris has a kids menu they will let you double order off of I get 2 orders of tenders its like 33 bucks. And some local nice places have a small kids menu with tenders they will let you order.

My 7-11 has deep fried chicken and not microwaved slop chicken. The spicy wings are so good bros. The potato wedges are breaded and perfect as well.

Not bad at all actually, Olive garden used to have really good tendies too

Even hand battered tenders aren’t worth that, not even touching ordering tendies off the kids menu at a steak place

Because it's a designated safe food for picky eaters.

never even considered turkey tenders were possible. eyes have been opened.

That's why. Man children do not like adult food so they default to the most mundane and child like options that almost everyone at least kind of likes. That said proper bone and skin in fried chicken is vastly superior. Men order fried chicken, childer order tenders.

Chicken tenders are a popular frozen food for lazy parents to make for their kid. It is greasy, salty, crispy, and accompanied by sweet sauces. This is much more appealing to the kid palate than a healthier meal, and is more fun to eat (dipping action instead of cutlery). It gives lazy parents some respite because the kid is temporarily satisfied. It also saves them the effort of actually cooking.

Over time, the lazy parents' reliance on chicken tenders as a means of calming their will inevitably lead to the child demanding tenders every day. And the lazy parent will inevitably fold because they know no other way to parent. So the kid grows up eating tendies and nothing else, completely stunting the development of their palate for normal foods. This dynamic cascades to all other parts of life and results in a male child growing up into a man-child.

So as an adult, he will continue to demand chicken tenders. Because all he knows is demanding that his base urges are immediately satisfied. And his aging mother will continue to make him tenders and bring them down to the basement, and continue to let him get away with being a loser. Because deep down she knows she fucked up raising him, but it's too late to go back.

t. this is how it happened for me. All I eat are tendies and I'm 33

>>22121173
If you go to a decent restaurant with a good variety of items, and you pick the chicken tenders, then you are a loser manchild. But if you're at a fast food restaurant, concession stand, Costco, etc, then there's nothing wrong with getting chicken tenders.
>>
>>22124680
I think the last time I got them was longhorn. I really don't give a shit about steak. BBQ is much better.
>>
>>22124685
Key phrase is "decent restaurant with a good variety of items". I don't know what this longhorn is, but if it's a bad restaurant that you were forced to go to, then falling back to something they can't fuck up is fine.

I was skinny until I “branched out” in college and became less picky with my food. I’d rather have stayed a skinny man-child than be a fat fuck with a sophisticated palette, like I am now.

Any good homemade tendie recipes to recommend? I've had an air fryer that I never really use and I feel like it's a waste of space. Figured I should use it more since I own it.

learn to make them well at home and young/autistic women will genuinely fucking love you for it

that said they are very little kid coded as a food and either the most common or second most common "safe foods" for autists and extreme picky eaters. they are great roughly chopped and tossed over a salad or stuffed in a sandwich/wrap, so who care what faggots think about you liking them.

Honey Dill! Basically mayo, honey, lemon juice and dill.
Dill added to Honey Mustard is also good.
