The Puritan Backroom - Manchester, NH

The chicken tenders at The Puritan Backroom are the most amazing chicken fingers that I have ever eaten. Eating them makes you feel like you could die right then and everything would be okay. After trying them for the first time, Nashua resident Michelle Osteaudelafont claims "It's like my tongue went to heaven." They contain the perfect amount of crisp, but the thing that makes them so great is definitely the hint of sweetness added to them. I was introduced to them at about the age of 13 at Thanksgiving and was astonished that a chicken finger could taste THAT good. After that, nothing could compare to them. A great appetizer or meal for any event they are sure to please. The Puritan Backroom has the best chicken tenders and are #1 on my list. They are worth the trip from wherever you are and you will not be disappointed. 

The Inn at Fox Hollow - Long Island, NY

The Inn at Fox Hollow: Pub Style

The chicken fingers at the pub at The Inn at Fox Hollow are dispicable to say the least. Looking more like fish sticks, these chicken fingers were limp and had no character whatsoever. Barley breaded and composing of no flavor these chicken fingers were terrible. (No picture provided because they were just THAT BAD.)

The Inn at Fox Hollow: Restaurant Style

Surprisingly enough, the chicken fingers from the restaurant at the inn were different from the pub style and spectacular. Similar to a Buckley's Restaurant (located in Merrimack, NH) type of chicken tender, these consisted of delicous, pure, chicken cooked to a crisp. Although very hesitant to try them after the pub's tenders, I gave them a shot and was surprised with my response. A+

Shortys Mexican Restaurant - Nashua, NH

Chicken fingers at a Mexican restaurant you ask? Sometimes, places can surprise you. Shorty's chicken tenders were much better than I was expecting and I was pleasantly surprised. Last time I went to Shortys, I ordered the Love Me Tenders and was not happy at all. Receiving what looked like small rodents on a plate to me, I realized I needed to try something else. My friend Rachel's sister works at Shorty's and told me there was another kind that I should try, so when I went the other day, I decided then was the time to snag the opportunity. The chicken looked very weird and I was quite skeptical at first, but after trying it I came to realize that it was actually quite good. The crispy outside was perfect and the shape and texture put a new twist on chicken fingers. Definitely recommend, just remember NOT the Love Me Tenders.
