If you haven’t tried Buffalo Chicken Tenders, you’re missing out! They are a popular restaurant appetizer and a game day favorite at our house.

A plate with homemade Buffalo Chicken Tenders ranch, celery, and carrot sticks.

If you don’t like the eat around the bones on wings, buffalo chicken tenders are going to become your new favorite! We love to dip them in buttermilk ranch.

I took my popular Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders and covered them in a classic tangy, slightly spicy buffalo sauce.

If you want to make this quicker and easier, you can buy frozen chicken tenders. Cook them according to the package directions, then toss in that beautiful buffalo sauce.

    These are a game day favorite in my house! We do usually use frozen chicken fingers to make it easy.
