Crispy Chicken Tenders

What is it?

Crispy chicken breast tenders are served on their own here, rather than tucked into a taco or burrito. They’re battered and fried, then paired with a dipping sauce of your choice. At Guzman y Gomez, the same tenders show up in the Crispy Chicken Tender Taco and Cali Burrito, so this side lifts one component from the wider menu and lets it stand alone. Preparation is straightforward: hot, craggy chicken strips with a fairly even crumb and a juicy centre. You get the chicken-forward format without tortillas, rice, or beans, which makes it closer to a classic fried chicken side than a full meal.
