When chickens decide to cross the road, they’re obviously trying to get to the other side. Over the years, the punchline has had a double meaning — the chicken is simply heading yonder or the feathered friend is making its way to the “other side” because it’s dangerous to cross busy roads.
However, we’re talking about chicken tenders in this article and now they’re crossing into entirely new territory: the local fast-food giant, Eegee’s.
The restaurant will be adding chicken tenders to the menu on Wednesday, October 19.
Sure, they’ve had one-offs like a chicken tender sandwich for a limited time, and they’ve got Chicken Nugees on the kids menu every day, but this new option is for all ages and appetites. The chicken tenders start at $7.79 for a two-piece combo that comes with French fries and an Eegee. Then, if you’re hungry enough, you can add even more to the coop with up to four chicken tenders.
Adding chicken tenders is one of the more significant changes to the menu that’s been evolving for 40+ years now. One of the other recent additions includes the first-ever caffeinated beverage, the Macchiato Buzz.
Drink Pink in October
Also, don’t forget that this month you can “Drink Pink” to help support the Tucson Cancer Conquerors. If you order the Pink Lemon Eegee they will donate back to the organization in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This promotion is happening until the end of October.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
