I Tried The Crazy Combo Of Chicken Tenders Dipped In Coke And Yeah, It's Worth The Sauce

Yes, you read that right. I tried dipping my chicken tenders in Coca-Cola and it was good! This crazy combo was inspired the girl at the U.S. Open who grabbed headlines. My first thought was, "How haven't I thought of this yet?" which, to my surprise, was not everyone else's reactions. I love chicken tenders and I love an icy Coke from McDonald's, so naturally, I was all over this.

As soon as I read the article I changed my dinner plans for the evening and tried to recruit some dinner guests:

Finally, someone I can count on.

I headed to McDonald's after work to pick up the goods. Then went home with my dinner for an evening of tenders, Coke, and some ranch just in case.

And then, when it came down to it, I got really nervous. I mean its one thing to say you're going to dip chicken into Coke, but the actual doing? That's crazy.


Morgan Shaffer

So there I was, chicken tender in hand, ready to dunk.

And I went for it! Here's the need to know info:

Taste

The first dunk I didn't let it sit in the Coke for that long so it basically tasted like cold, fizzy chicken. Almost like if the chicken tender was dipped in pop rocks and then the tender was in the fridge for a little bit. The second dunk I let the chicken soak up more of the Coke flavor and that was key. It was like a sweet, sweet, coating on the crispy chicken. 10/10 recommend.

What I Learned For Next Time

I would suggest getting a coke for yourself (to drink) and a Coke for the tenders (to dunk). I was dipping into the same Coke I was drinking and that was a bad oversight on my part.

I would also ask for no ice in the Coke you are dipping in to keep the chicken from getting too cold.


This is not something I would necessarily get every time I go to McDonald's. I can 100% guarantee you the next time I get home from a Saturday night out, this will be my go to. And, no matter how good this tastes, I will never have the courage to eat it in public, props to you U.S. Open fan, you are everything I wish I could be.

Chicken tenders and Coke sound too crazy for you? I will recommend dunking your nuggets in a frosty or McFlurry instead, thank me later.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
