Are chicken tenders common outside the US or is that mostly an American thing?

Very common outside and probably invented in France. Just not called tenders. The ones the same size as your tenders would be called goujons, and larger ones escalopes.

@GlassDog Escalopes are new to me. I’ve heard the term goujon before though.

@GlassDog escalopes are very popular with veal

@BlueMetalChick Just like a big, round, flat tender. Or maybe butterflied with a filling like cheese or garlic before they're panéed.

@GlassDog garlic sounds like a great idea.

@BlueMetalChick shut up, garlic goes with anything
GlassDog · 46-50, M
@BlueMetalChick Yeah, I used to love stuff like this. If you fill it with garlic butter, it melts inside the escalope and runs out as a kind of a sauce when you cut into it. And if you don't flatten it first, I guess it's just a Kiev.

@lightningblue I did just say garlic sounds like a good idea.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@GlassDog Now see that I can’t do cos I hate butter lol

@BlueMetalChick yeah, but its a good idea with anything
so its not a "good idea"

@lightningblue Ok garlic does not go well with some things. Shark, for example. Garlic has a strong taste and shark is very mild. Garlic would overpower the taste of the shark.

@BlueMetalChick Guess you could have garlic as part of a herb crust, then.
lightningblue · 26-30, M
@BlueMetalChick im sure you can make it work
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@GlassDog Now that sounds like a winner.

@lightningblue I prefer mild rice vinegar with shark.
