When you buy boneless skinless chicken breasts they are not really shaped like a breast piece of fried chicken - they look like little uniform squares of meat. That's because they separate the tenderloin to sell it separately.
  • Chicken tenderloins are actual parts of a chicken. Strips of white meat located on either side of the breastbone, under the breast meat.
  • Chicken tenders can be tenderloins or just white meat cut from the breast or just pulverized chicken flesh.

The tenderloin of a chicken is the long, innermost muscle of the breast lying along the breastbone. It is the most tender meat on the bird. Every chicken has two tenders. When you eat a fried chicken breast - the tenderloin is that kind of long piece that pulls out cleanly from the side.
