Raising Cane’s crispy chicken tenders don’t have a ton of flavor in the breading – it’s a simple (but delicious) flaky coating on juicy chicken tenders. That leaves all the flavor for the yummy dipping sauce. You can get larger containers of the sauce for extra at the restaurants but it’s much easier to just make it at home. 🙂
