How To Choose the Best Sides for Chicken Tenders

Whether you are eating with your health and wellness in mind or just grabbing a meal for convenience, chicken tenders are a great choice for everyone. They are filling, nutrient-dense and most importantly, satisfying and delicious.

At Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders, the country’s premier chicken tender restaurant, you can expect only the best 3% of the chicken, known as “The Filet Mignon of Chicken®.” We serve only real tenders made from the tenderloin for juicy chicken that is mouthwatering and irresistible.

The versatility of the chicken tender is unmatched. You can customize your meal with a variety of delicious sides, making chicken tenders a great option for family mealtimes and get-togethers with friends.

There’s a Salad for Everyone

Choosing the best sides for chicken tenders can be difficult, as they all sound delicious. When putting together your order, many prefer to create a balanced meal that is both satisfying and sustaining.

The US Department of Agriculture has created a free online tool called MyPlate, which replaces the standard food pyramid. This tool helps guide users to put together nutritious combinations of foods with a few clicks of the mouse.

Guests who like to keep their plates full of vegetables can choose from a variety of salad options topped with either grilled or hand-breaded chicken tenders. Feel confident that your food choices align with your health goals while remaining both satisfying and delicious.

All of Huey Magoo’s salads are made fresh. You can make a delicious salad your main course or add a side salad to your full meal.

If you have a sweet tooth, order the Magoo’s Favorite Salad. This classic topped with chicken tenders of your choosing is a fitting choice, featuring mixed greens, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, grape tomatoes and a side of raspberry walnut vinaigrette.

For the southwest-inspired salad lovers, there is the Farm Fresh Salad. It includes mixed greens, cheddar jack cheese, grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, black beans and roasted corn, with honey mustard dressing on the side.

Order the Buffalo Salad if you love a tangy heat. Buffalo-sauced chicken tenders are served on top of mixed greens, topped with bleu cheese crumbles, grape tomatoes and shredded carrots and come with homemade ranch dressing on the side.

Homemade & Specialty Dips

The versatility of chicken tenders means they match a wide range of flavor profiles. Choose from 10 different dips at Huey Magoo’s.

Sides for Potato Lovers

Potatoes are a great choice to add to any chicken tender meal, as they are delicious treats. At Huey Magoo’s, you can choose from Fresh-Cut Chips or Crinkle-Cut Fries, either plain or seasoned with Magoo’s seasoning.

Cheese and potatoes go together beautifully, so of course, you have the option of adding cheese dip to your order. For an extra delicious treat, consider dipping your chicken tenders in the cheese, too!

More Sides To Pick From

Salads, dips and potatoes are classic side dish options, but we’re not finished yet. Add some homemade coleslaw — made fresh daily. With a blend of diced carrots and cabbage marinated in a light savory dressing, choosing this side for chicken tenders is a perfect choice.

For those who love Texas Toast as a side, Huey Magoo’s has you covered. Add a delicious thick-cut slice of bread that has been lightly toasted and coated in a savory garlic butter spread to complete your chicken tender meal.

Consider making a Texas Toast sandwich with your tenders in the middle. You can even include a cheese dip or the dipping sauce of your choice with your sandwich for an added punch of flavor.

How about a side of more chicken? You can add as many individual tenders as you like to your meal! Choose from either hand-breaded or grilled chicken tenders.

Don’t forget to add a drink to your meal to wash it all down. Choose from freshly brewed sweet or unsweetened tea with a variety of flavor choices: unsweetened, watermelon or a blend of melon and lemon tea.
