LongHorn Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders — Price, Calories & Nutrition 2026

Crispy hand-breaded chicken tenders served with dipping sauce. LongHorn runs it through the same fire-grilled, seasoned approach that defines the brand — dry rub, open flame, and portions that usually match the photo (not always the Instagram version, but close).
