Chicken Tenders can be paired with White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient. White meat is typically paired with white wine as to not overpower the flavor of the meat, so chardonnay and sauvignon blanc are safe choices. Chicken prepared with a tomato sauce or certainly a red wine sauce can and should be served with a red like a pinot noir. One wine you could try is The Bachelor Fantasy Suite Cabernet Sauvignon Wine. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

The Bachelor Fantasy Suite Cabernet Sauvignon Wine

In the glass, this wine is a beautiful, deep ruby red color. On the nose, aromas of black cherry, blueberry and dark plum comingle with hints of savory, dried herbs. More dark fruit flavors of blackberry and plum are evident on the soft, round palate, which is complemented by lovely spicy notes. The wine's juicy, berry flavors extend to a lingering finish, beautifully enhanced by soft, round tannins.
