Given the logo on the basic packaging, I believe the Home Chef here is the popular meal kit delivery company; who have now apparently branched out into providing their products to grocery stores. Five pieces come inside the refrigerated, resealable package. I paid about nine bucks at Kroger for these.
Cooking: These are precooked tenders, no cooking information is provided by the brand. I heated them up in the air fryer. Microwaving fared a little too mushy for my taste.
Taste and texture: Is too crisp a thing? When I heated these in the air fryer and found the final result too hard. I never thought I’d complain about too much crunch. Of course that’s on me and my preferred cooking method, but I found the exterior coating ultimately too much. The chicken itself was average.
Overall: I finished the container, but would pass on these again. Something like Tyson’s Southern Style Tenderloins are better in every regard for my money; not least the added convenience of having them on hand in the freezer.

Are Home Chef Chicken Tenders any good?
These are basic chicken tenders, with no particularly remarkable features in the taste department.
