I’d seen the commercials for Hardee’s Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders quite a few times. The commercials I saw aired during my beloved St. Louis Cardinal’s games each night. They always looked so ridiculously amazing, I was tempted (each time) to run to my nearest Hardee’s in my pajamas.
Willpower always won out because my Betsey Johnson polka dotted PJs aren’t meant for everyone’s eyes. Besides, I couldn’t very well leave my Cardinals now could I? The bullpen would implode (no comment).
Yesterday, my daughter Stephany and I ran by Hardee’s and grabbed a couple of boxes to take for a test drive. We got the Honey Mustard and Creamy Buffalo dipping sauces but they also offer Buttermilk Ranch. I loved the Creamy Buffalo dipping sauce. I didn’t try the Honey Mustard because, in my book, anything remotely related to mustard only belongs on fried bologna sandwiches and hot dogs. When it ventures outside of that little culinary box, I get nervous.
But enough about the sauces because, frankly, they aren’t even needed. Hardee’s Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders are 
exceptional – even better than I thought they’d be. They’re also reasonably priced – for the quality, I’d expect them to cost a lot more.
The only problem is now I have a dilemma – I normally get the Mushroom Swiss burger at Hardee’s. Now I’m torn!
I only wish Hardee’s would bring back the Texas Toothpicks they had for a limited time. I ordered (and ate) the heck out of those things. Seriously, they were one of the best sides any fast food restaurant has ever offered.
Be sure to swing by Hardee’s the next time you’re hungry and try out the hand-breaded chicken tenders. I give them 2 thumbs up and only wish I had more thumbs.

Denny’s Sweet Ride Nachos!
The ridiculously delicous items in this post will be available exclusively from 10 p.m. – 5 a.m. The creation of the late-night menu was based on feedback from focus groups and taste test studies with consumers ages 18-24. Denny’s also kept the consumer’s pocketbook in mind with the inclusion of 4 “value items” starting at $3.99.
What do you excpect from a company known for its Southern hospitality? Denny’s is based in Spartanburg, SC. – so they know a thing or two about the trait southerners are famous for. Fortunately they know about another thing the south’s known for… great food!
Somebody notify the Smokin’ Q Four Pack and Sweet Ride Nachos that I’m coming for them.
