Chicken fingers (also called "chicken strips", "chicken fillets", or "chicken tenders"[1]) is chicken meat that does not include any bones or skin.

Chicken fingers are prepared by dipping chicken meat in a breading mixture and then deep frying them.[2] Traditionally, chicken fingers are primarily white meat, made from the rib meat trimmed from the breast.

Chicken fingers are served in many restaurants in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The style of breading can determine what kind of restaurant it is served in.

In the northeastern United States, chicken fingers are often made with an egg batter and have a smooth texture. This particular variety of chicken fingers, in this part of America, are often served in Chinese restaurants as an appetizer or as a main dish.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

Elsewhere, the breading mixture can lack eggs and the texture of the dish itself can be often rather coarse. This version is often served alongside various dipping sauces. The dipping sauces can include: ketchup, blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, Buffalo wing sauce, butter and garlic, or the sweet and sour Polynesian sauce. These kind of chicken fingers are often served in a basket with French fries, served on a garden salad, or in a sandwich, such as a wrap or on a bun.

Chicken tenders are offered by various fast food chains like McDonald's "Chicken Select Strips" and Church's Chicken "Tender Strips". They are also a common offering on children's menus in American restaurants.
