"Specifically, chicken tenders are made from the pectoralis minor or inner filet of the chicken breast, hence the name "tender." Not unlike its ButterBurgers, which are famously made from three prized cuts of beef, Culver's tenders also have a specific source for their chicken. Springer Mountain Farms is a Georgia-based, family-owned farm that operates under strict environmental sustainability and animal welfare standards, foregoing antibiotics and using 100% U.S.-grown corn and soybeans in the chicken feed."
"As we mentioned in our review, "[T]hese end up looking more like fried fish than chicken. The breading is thin and smooth [...] An authentic white meat chicken flavor is present. At the same time, though, it feels a bit processed or even made from frozen." Worse than no crunch, our taste-tester also found Culver's tenders dry and unseasoned compared to competitor fast-food brands. At a Culver's location in Ohio, a four-piece tender costs $7.69."
Culver's chicken tenders are made from the pectoralis minor (inner filet) of the chicken breast and are promoted as cooked crispy golden to order. Springer Mountain Farms supplies the chicken under sustainability and animal welfare standards, forgoing antibiotics and using 100% U.S.-grown corn and soybeans in feed. Tasting notes describe thin, smooth breading resembling fried fish, an authentic white-meat flavor with a processed or frozen sensation, and a dry, underseasoned texture compared with competitors. A four-piece tender is priced at $7.69 at one Ohio location, and a reported employee claim says chicken products arrive precooked and frozen.
