Bob Evans Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders (3pc)
Bob Evans Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders (3pc) is a simple, crispy comfort meal made with three tenders of fresh, all-white meat chicken. Each tender is hand-breaded and fried until golden and crunchy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. The plate comes with your choice of dipping sauce, French fries, coleslaw, and freshly baked bread.
Bob Evans added these tenders to its menu on January 28, 2025, as part of a bigger lineup that also included new Double Meat Breakfast Tacos. The chain built this dish around its hand-breaded fried chicken recipe, the same one used across several of its other chicken dishes.
What Is Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders (3pc)?
This is the Dinner Bell Plate version of Bob Evans’s tenders, meaning it’s sized for one person as a full meal. Everything below comes together on one plate:
One nice detail here: you’re not stuck with just one sauce. Bob Evans offers six dipping sauce options with its tenders: Buffalo, Honey Mustard, Ranch, Bob Evans Wildfire BBQ, Wildfire Ranch, and Black Pepper Maple Honey. That’s a lot more choice than most fast-food chicken tender meals offer.
According to one food blogger who visited a Bob Evans location in person, the tenders are pressure marinated and hand-breaded fresh every morning in the restaurant, not shipped in pre-breaded. That’s part of why they come out crispy outside and juicy inside instead of dry or chewy.
