In August 2017, a similar chicken tender product named "Buttermilk Crispy Tenders" was added to the menu. However, they were discontinued in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

McDonald's removes popular buttermilk chicken tenders off the menu due to supplies. If you're a fan of McDonald's buttermilk tenders you'll have to do without for a while.

In 2004, McDonald's released their chicken selects. Unlike their nuggets, the selects were made with whole pieces of chicken breast that were battered and fried. They left the menu for a stint of time from 2013 to 2017, and when they returned they were rebranded as buttermilk crispy tenders.

The chicken tenders still appear to be a popular menu item, despite being temporarily removed from menus as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. However, since chicken tenders have yet to reappear on McDonald's menus, some fans fear the decision to remove tenders from the menu may be permanent.

Restaurant operators are happy with the new strategy, which cut some healthy items due to longer prep time and lower demand. “Our simplified menu enables for speed,” said the National Owners Association, a large group of McDonald's franchisees, in an email last month viewed by Bloomberg News.

Sadly, it's official that McDonald's cinnamon rolls, apple fritters and blueberry muffins are all departing the menu. The affected items originally arrived to menus in October 2020.

"We're always listening to our fans and adjusting our menu based on what they crave," an emailed statement to NBC Chicago from McDonald's USA read Friday. "Starting this month, we'll be phasing out our McCafé Bakery line-up, including the Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin and Cinnamon Roll."

Chicken tenders or chicken tenderloins are the little strips of meat that are tenuously attached to the underside of each breast (and thus sometimes called “hanging tenders”), so every chicken has two tenders.

However, while chicken nuggets and sandwiches have been mainstays, one dish has slowly become dominant in the industry - chicken tenders and fingers.
