The restaurant’s Beyond Meat chicken tenders are made of plant-based protein with no GMOs. There is no chicken in the tenders, but they come close to tasting like it with a breaded outside and tender inside mimicking the real thing.

The tenders can be ordered as a combo with four tenders, a roll, a side dish and drink for $9.59.

The Richardson based chain rolled out the new menu item on Monday, Nov. 8 and will be available until Jan. 2 at four different Dallas-Fort Worth locations. One of the locations is on Jupiter Road.

Golden Chick previously added boneless wings to their menu, but these plant-based tenders are the latest limited edition item added to the menu.

*Correction: Golden Chick’s new tenders aren’t vegan but are made from plant-based ingredients.

Golden Chick is located at 2172 N. Jupiter Rd.
