When hand-breaded chicken tenders returned to Cedar Point in 2016 with the reintroduction of the Frontier Inn, we were extremely pleased. There is no comparing hand-breaded chicken tenders compared to the frozen version sold throughout most of the park.

However, the hand-breaded Frontier Inn chicken tenders did not go over as well as the park had hoped, thus bringing back Chick-fil-A in 2018.

Guests could still get hand-breaded chicken tenders at the Crystal Rock Cafe in Cedar Point Shores.

Fortunately, Cedar Point now offers the hand-breaded chicken tenders at Stockade Refreshments in Frontier Town.

Guests have the option of getting a chicken tenders basket or a chicken tender sandwich in either plain or with buffalo sauce.

While it never really bothered us, part of the problem with the former Frontier Inn chicken tenders was the breading was not always crispy while maintaining a tender chicken breast inside. They were either under or over cooked.
That issue appears to now be corrected with the Stockade Refreshments chicken tenders, as they have been prepared perfectly on multiple of our visits.

We would love to see the Sidewinder Fries option available throughout the rest of Frontier Town offered at Stockade as well.

Overall, we much prefer the Stockade hand-breaded chicken tenders versus those sold elsewhere in the park. However, we understand with the sandwich option only giving two chicken tenders, but can be please go back to giving three chicken tenders as the standalone option?
