Good Quality Chicken just too $$$
These are pretty good but they just are too expensive. It's a shame the only way to get a good quality chicken tender that isn't rubbery and has the texture of real chciken meat is to pay and arm and a leg. I'll buy again when on sale.

Where did they go???
They seem to have disappeared from shelves here in Hawaii. Your website says they are still here but nobody has them in stock. Please help, it's an emergency. My wife loves them.

Yummy!
I have repurchased this dozens of times and will continue to do so, it is so good! I pop them in the airfryer for about 12 minutes and they are hot and cripsy. They are perfect for at home snack wraps and really satisfy fast food cravings for me. They are a little pricey but they are just my perfect freezer staple.

Not my favorite
I don’t hate them. The flavor is good (but not much spice). mine have a lot of filler looking stuff in it that’s off putting to me. Side note, I bought these for pickup and when I saw the size of the bag, I gasped. It’s very overpriced for the amount you get. I wouldn’t purchase again

Love the taste
I love the taste! But…. I wish they used paleo approved flour and oil. Hence the 4 star rating. Sometimes I don't have time to make from scratch!

Just ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Applegate Naturals Spicy Breaded Chicken Breast Tenders are okay. The spice flavor was nice, not too spicy or too mild. It's nice that these are fully cooked so there is no concern about not cooking them enough. Unfortunately, the ratio of breading to chicken is off. There's too much breading. I would have definitely enjoyed these if there was more chicken and less breading. Because of this, I would not recommend or purchase these especially for the cost. If the breading ratio was fixed, I would purchase these in a heart beat!

Quick & Yummy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a 2 year old in the house means frozen chicken is a common item in our freezer. Well these are a new favorite! They aren't too spicy, my 2 year old is able to enjoy them.

In love with these chicken tenders!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely in love with the flavor of these spicy breaded chicken breast tenders! The breaded ratio vs. chicken breast is by far one of the best ones I've seen in the market. So it became quickly my family's preferred brand for frozen tenders

Flavorful and tender!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always try to stray from frozen chicken products as they're also so overly processed and doesn't really give me the texture of chicken until I tried these applegate spicy breaded chicken tenders. I used an air fryer and achieved the best texture I can ever expect, better than restaurant quality if I may say! The breading is seasoned very well, crispy and does not slide off the chicken. The chicken meat itself is very tender, juicy and also rips apart like chicken. I honestly would love to eat this everyday. I received this product as a complimentary product for my honest review.

Packaging seems unsafe
I loved these tenders but I noticed the packaging looks different. In the back it has a tape like look that you pull which basically opens the package. When i pulled the tape there was an open slit in the bag and i could see the chicken inside. But on my 2nd bag (I bought 2), I had to press the bag more forcefully to open the part thats preslit. Now I'm uncertain if I should toss the previous bag of chicken which hurts considering the price of it is nearly $14 .

Spicy and Tasty Chicken Tenders
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Chicken Tenders were not dry and it was the right amount of flavoring that is not overly salty or spicy. It had the right amount of kick without having to look for water to extinguish it. The breading is not overly thick which would not soak up all the juices. It's something it works with as a snack or finger food for a party.

Great Quality Chicken
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Breaded Chicken Breast Tenders both in the oven and my air fryer, and both methods had great results. The chicken was moist, tender and breading crispy (a little better in the air fryer though) and generally very tasty. Chicken breasts can tend to be dry, especially when trying to get the breading crispy during cooking, but these turned out great with crispy breading and moist chicken.
