What’s better than gathering with friends and fellow veterans? Gathering over a plate of crispy chicken tenders from Bojangles! This April meeting promised a feast, with Bojangles delivering their classic menu items that attendees love. Bojangles’ chicken tenders are a top choice, featuring a perfectly seasoned crunch that holds in juicy flavor in addition to their signature biscuits, which are flaky and buttery. Good eats all around!
