Allergens

Gluten: The breading used to coat the chicken tenders contains gluten, making this dish unsuitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Dairy: The breading may contain dairy, particularly if butter or cheese powder is used in the seasoning. Additionally, some dipping sauces (like honey mustard or ranch) may contain dairy.
Soy: Some of the breading ingredients or sauces may contain soy, so it’s important to check the ingredients if soy is a concern.
Egg: Egg may be used in the breading process, making this dish unsuitable for those with an egg allergy.
Sodium: The dish is often high in sodium due to the salt in the breading and the dipping sauces.
Chicken: Contains chicken (poultry), which is a potential allergen for some individuals, although rare.

Recommendations

For a lighter option: To make the dish lighter, ask if the chicken tenders can be grilled instead of fried. Pairing the tenders with a side of steamed vegetables or fresh fruit instead of fries can also help reduce calories and increase fiber.
For more flavor: If your child likes more flavor, you can request that the tenders be served with a combination of sauces, like BBQ and honey mustard, to add variety and enhance the taste.
For a gluten-free option: The breading contains gluten, so it’s not suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. You could ask if the restaurant offers gluten-free chicken tenders or opt for other grilled protein options.
For picky eaters: If your child is a picky eater and prefers simpler flavors, you can request that the chicken tenders be served plain, with the breading on the side or without breading altogether.
For a more indulgent meal: If your child loves richer meals, you can pair the tenders with fries and a creamy dipping sauce like ranch or honey mustard.
