Hot Chicken Tenders

Hot Chicken Tenders and Wings at Kababees

If you crave a bit of heat and excitement with your fried chicken, our Hot Chicken Tenders in Middletown, NY, are made for you. This is where crispy meets spicy in the most delightful way. The Hot Chicken Tenders themselves are juicy, hand-breaded chicken strips that we toss in our special hot seasoning right after frying – think of it as our nod to Nashville-style hot chicken. The result is tenders that maintain their crunch but are coated in a fiery, flavor-packed spice blend that will have your taste buds tingling (in a good way!). You can choose your heat level: Mild for a gentle kick or Spicy if you’re ready to feel the burn; we cater to both preferences so everyone can enjoy.

These tenders can be ordered in various portion sizes to suit your appetite (we serve them in combos of 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 pieces). And just like our regular tenders, you can get them on their own or as a combo with fries and a drink, making them a versatile choice for a snack or a full meal. Each tender is made from high-quality chicken fillet, marinated for tenderness, then breaded and fried to golden perfection. Once they come out of the fryer, we either dust or dunk them in our hot spice mix (depending on the spice level and style you choose). The spice mix isn’t just about heat – it’s layered with flavor: paprika for smokiness, cayenne for heat, a touch of brown sugar for slight sweetness, and secret herbs and spices that give it a bold, crave-able character.

Within this category, you’ll also find fun variations: – Chicken Bites (10 pcs) – bite-sized fried chicken morsels that are great for sharing or popping like fiery popcorn chicken. They come with your choice of dipping sauce and can be seasoned hot upon request. – Tandoori Wings (6 pcs) – we’ve included our popular tandoori-spiced grilled wings here as an option for those who want spice but perhaps a break from breaded style. (We’ve described these wings earlier – they’re marinated in a tandoori spice blend and grilled, offering a smoky heat different from the fried tenders.)

Our Hot Chicken Tenders category is all about bold flavor and customizable heat. It’s perfect for wing lovers, hot sauce enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to turn up the dial on their fried chicken experience. We serve these with cooling sides – we always include a bit of coleslaw or extra dipping sauce when someone orders the spicy version, because that contrast of cool and hot is just divine. And if you get a combo, the fries are a lovely canvas to drag through any extra hot seasoning that falls off the tenders – spicy fries, anyone?

Despite the name “Hot,” we want to stress that you’re in control of the spiciness. The Mild Hot Tenders have a flavorful warmth (more about taste than burn), whereas the Spicy Hot Tenders will light up your palate and probably make you reach happily for your cold soda. Either way, the underlying chicken is delicious – crunchy outside, tender inside – so you won’t sacrifice taste for heat. The goal is to add a new dimension to the familiar crunch of fried chicken, and we think we’ve nailed it.

Give our Hot Chicken Tenders a try if you’re looking to add some adventure to your meal. They’ve become a hit especially during game nights and among groups of friends who dare each other to go spicier. But even if you’re dining solo, it’s a fun change from the ordinary. These tenders pack a punch and deliver that endorphin rush chili-lovers know well, all while being downright scrumptious. Feeling bold? Go fo Go for Spicy. Feeling cautious? Mild’s got you. Either way, you’re in for a treat with a kick!

(And remember, you can always get a side of ranch or blue cheese to dunk those hot tenders – even the heartiest spice warriors sometimes enjoy a cooling dip. We won’t tell.)
