TENDER CRUSH Introduces 'Tender Dogs'

Ready for the next game-changer? Tender Crush, the new fast-casual chicken tender spot with both grilled and crispy options that showcase flavors inspired by the different boroughs of NYC, is closing out 2024 with a bold food mashup that might just steal the show in 2025: the Tender Dog!

What’s a Tender Dog? It’s a hot dog-inspired chicken tender sandwich, packing all the crispy goodness of a chicken tender with the bold, crave-worthy flavors of New York City. From spicy buffalo heat to tangy BBQ sweetness, every bite is a wild ride with each of Tender Crush’s flavorful offerings:

“Hot” Tender Dogs:

• Jackson Heights Heat – Bird pepper sauce, pickles, and white BBQ sauce.

• Harlem Hot – Buffalo-style sauce, scallions, and whipped blue cheese.

• K-Town Hot – Chili oil, kimchi dry rub, pickles, and dill.

“Sweet” Tender Dogs:

• 32nd Street BBQ – Korean BBQ sauce, sesame, cilantro, lime.

• Thai Queens – Sweet chili pop sauce, lime, and cilantro.

• BKLYN ‘Q – Smoky BBQ with a chive kick.

Could Tender Dogs be the sleeper food craze of 2025? We're betting on it!
