Buddy’s bar-b-q has spent more than 50 years serving up slow-smoked favorites across East Tennessee, and now the hometown staple is adding a crispy new option to the mix. New chicken tenders are officially on the menu, giving Buddy’s guests another affordable, family-friendly favorite alongside the bar-b-q, Southern sides and signature flavors they already know and love.
Fried fresh and served hot, Buddy’s tenders feature juicy chicken hand-coated in a golden, crispy breading. Served plain, tossed in Buddy’s bar-b-q sauce or finished with Buddy’s signature seasoning for an extra kick — the new tenders bring a satisfying crunch and classic Buddy’s flavors to every bite. The tenders can be ordered à la carte in four- or five-piece portions, or as a combo with a drink and guests’ choice of side from Buddy’s classic Southern lineup. Four-piece orders start at $5.59 à la carte or $8.99 as a combo, while five-piece orders start at $6.59 à la carte or $9.99 as a combo.
Guests can round out their chicken tender meal with comforting Southern sides, from savory Hushpuppies and Baked Beans to Coleslaw and Potato Salad. Each tender combo also comes with a choice of bar-b-q, ranch or honey mustard dipping sauce, adding an extra boost of flavor to every crispy bite.
“Our guests have always trusted us to deliver quality food made simple at a great price, and we think these chicken tenders fit right in at Buddy’s,” said Mark Lemoncelli, CEO of Buddy’s bar-b-q. “Whether it’s an easy family dinner, a quick lunch or something the kids will love, we’re always looking for ways to give our guests more choices while staying true to what they’ve loved about Buddy’s for generations.”
The new chicken tenders continue Buddy’s tradition of serving A Smokin’ Good Deal™, bringing an affordable, familiar favorite to the menu alongside the franchise’s signature bar-b-q offerings. With options for a quick bite, family meal or something in between, the tenders give longtime fans and new guests alike another way to enjoy the flavor and value Buddy’s has served for generations.
With more than five decades of tradition behind it, Buddy’s continues to evolve its menu while staying rooted in the classic flavors, great value and Southern hospitality that have defined the brand since 1972.
Buddy’s new chicken tenders are available now at all locations across East Tennessee.
