Jaybee's Tenders

"Most drive-thrus have chicken tenders, but JayBee’s in Decatur on Wesley Chapel serves the kind that makes the others feel like an afterthought. These are big, juicy, and can be purchased as a 20-piece for an easy family meal. Their fried chicken sandwiches hold their own too, stacked with thick toasted bread, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and tangy Jay’s Sauce. But you’re going to have to order online if you want to utilize the drive-thru window." - juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Atlanta is a wing town, but this small, family-run, takeout spot on Wesley Chapel is making a case for swapping out flats and drums for tenders. When you want a quick dinner to take home, scoop up Jaybee’s 20-piece family pack of tenders (they're huge and have an amazingly crunchy panko-like breading). Or go for a messy fried chicken sandwich with thick buttery toasted bread, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and their tangy, mayo-based Jay’s Sauce." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder

"Atlanta may be the land of wings, but Jaybee’s Chicken Tenders, a small, family-run, takeout spot in Decatur, makes a strong case for swapping drums and flats for their fried golden tenders. Each chicken strip is practically the size of a '90s-era Toshiba remote. Plus, they have a well-seasoned panko-style breading that locks in the juices from the meat. Grab a five-piece for a quick dinner (order online and pick it up at the drive-up window). Or scoop up the 20-piece family pack for picky kids who’ve convinced themselves chicken only tastes good in breaded and boneless form. It comes with four pieces of Texas toast, four coleslaws, four sodas, and large fries for $35. Food Rundown video credit: Jacinta Howard Chicken Tenders The tenders are great. They’re huge, with well-seasoned, cripsy batter. The meat stays juicy and moist. Fried Sandwich This is a big, messy sandwich that’s worthy of an order. You can’t modify it, but that’s fine with us because it’s perfect as is, with snappy tenders, thick buttery toasted bread, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and their tangy, mayo-based Jay’s Sauce. Grilled Tenders The fried tenders are the star here, but the grilled chicken strips hold their own—moist, well-seasoned, and solid. Mambo Sandwich Another tasty, messy sandwich. Crispy chicken tenders pile on thick toast, with pickles and a sweet, tangy mambo sauce." - Jacinta Howard
