I tried chicken tender meals from McDonald's and Chick-fil-A. One chain served up juicier tenders.
Briefly

McDonald's has relaunched its chicken tenders as McCrispy Strips, marking their return after a pandemic hiatus. In a taste and value comparison with Chick-fil-A, while Chick-fil-A's meal is generally preferred for taste, McDonald's appears to offer greater value. Though McDonald's chicken tenders were initially ranked higher in a casual ranking, further tasting revealed mixed feelings about their quality. Overall, the competition is fierce, and McDonald's seeks to attract Chick-fil-A's devoted fanbase, particularly Gen Z customers with its new offerings.
In a chicken tender battle between Chick-fil-A and McDonald's, the chicken chain could be considered the heavyweight.
I decided to compare the chains' chicken tender meals to see if McDonald's is a serious contender in the chicken-tender battle.
The cost of my meal at McDonald's came to $16.59, excluding tax and fees.
In a master ranking of 11 fast-food chicken tenders, I ranked McDonald's chicken tenders higher than Chick-fil-A's.
