<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The way I see it, eating McDonald\u2019s at two in the morning is the only<\/em> way to eat McDonald\u2019s. The atmosphere is so laid back and amicable. <\/p>\n The employees openly discuss their love lives and curse at each other. Everything is drowned out by the sound of old Lionel Richie songs and whatever\u2019s airing on Fox Sports 2 (usually infomercials promising to improve your golf swing). And best of all, nobody even cares<\/em> that there\u2019s a guy in the back, taking pictures of his four-piece Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Tenders meal like he was examining a C.S.I.<\/em> victim — with the flash on and everything.<\/p>\n The more cynical sorts out there might take a look at these newfangled McProducts and immediately assume they\u2019re nothing more than elongated nuggets. Not true. While the white meat may be indistinguishable from the McNuggets we all know and love, the breading tastes much different. <\/p>\n I pick up the subtle flavor of the buttermilk batter, and the overall coating is noticeably spicier than the average McDonald\u2019s chicken offering. The texture is also a bit grittier than what we\u2019re used to from the chain. Imagine a breading halfway between the regular Chicken McNuggets outer shell and Popeyes\u2019 Handcrafted Spicy Tenders and you\u2019ve got a fairly apt description of what we\u2019re working with here.<\/p>\n But that\u2019s not all. The all new chicken tenders also come with what McDonald\u2019s is billing as its \u201cSignature Sauce,\u201d and all in all, it isn\u2019t too shabby. I suppose the best way to describe it is a mildly tangier Catalina (French) dressing or a slightly<\/em> spicier-than-normal blend of Thousand Island dressing. Regardless, it\u2019s quite zesty, and the teensy-tiny hint of spiciness should be palatable to even the tamest of taste buds.<\/p>\n And even if you don\u2019t<\/em> particularly like the Signature Sauce, the cardboard chicken tender carrier case comes with a handy-dandy double slot so you can wedge in a pair of sauce containers. As an avid sauce connoisseur, I\u2019d suggest pairing the tenders with both the Sriracha Mac Sauce and the McRanch dressing (a great chaser to offset the spiciness of the former, naturally.)<\/p>\n On the whole, I\u2019d consider the Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Tenders to be a fairly decent – albeit somewhat<\/em> bland – addition to the extended McNugget family. The tenders themselves are surprisingly long (three to five inches, approximately) and they will fill you up fast, especially when doused in a goulash of sauces.<\/p>\n One word of warning, though: NOTHING goes well with the amalgamation of honey mustard, habanero ranch, and spicy buffalo sauce, except a bottle of Maalox. <\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 3 pieces – 370 calories, 190 calories from fat, 21 grams of total fat, 3.6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 70 milligrams of cholesterol, 910 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 0 grams of sugar, 28 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.99 The way I see it, eating McDonald\u2019s at two in the morning is the only way to eat McDonald\u2019s.
