Upon opening the bag, it was easy to see how they make the claim that you can eat the whole thing for only 490 calories—these chicken chunks are not big, and there aren't very many to the pricey, non-resealable bag. They're pounded to a uniform medium thickness and bake up hard, like an exoskeleton over the boneless meat. The chicken itself was good—soft and tender as it ought to be, with a meatiness whole-cut white meat ought to have.
When you do hold it against Perdue's own Chicken Breast Tenders, you'll find that despite having a less salty taste to its bread crumbs, it actually has 2% more sodium per serving of three tenders, a handful more calories than their original line, and a longer ingredient list. The benefits are the use of organic ingredients, the two grams of fiber you get from the whole grain breading, and three grams more of protein.
Now we're talking. Forget flashy branding and modern marketing—this brand focuses its energy more on its product. Top Chick is a retail brand by OK Foods and is also known as equally retro-looking TenderBird on the West Coast.
