Can not see why not, as long as completely cooked thru, not just warmed up.
But expect they will have a damp coating, which you may just scrape off.
Again, being chicken, make sure they are well done. Depends on your microwave how long, and how many at once, but thinking 10 minutes might be a bit short.

Crumbed pieces are fine if cooked through, check it after a few minutes in microwave, then do a bit longer if not hot in the middle.

I buy similar ones. They have already been cooked. So there's no danger like there would be with raw chicken.

Microwaving them, they will end up quite soggy. If your oven isn't operational, why not just pan fry them? That's how I do mine.

You could defrost in microwave and then cook in a sandwich press if you have one.

Hope you enjoy them more than the southern fried ones I have. The photo on the packet makes them look like real chicken tenderloins - they're not.

I thought the term chicken tender referred to the tenderloin. The tenderloin is the very tender piece that is easily separated from a boned breast. Wouldn't that make them very much chicken?

Did you look at the link provided?
They are cooked and then frozen, and purchased frozen in a box..
Therefore there are no 'raw chicken dangers' present..

Read all of these quotes and you will see where my confusion lay.

I was not even thinking about dangerous raw chicken.

paora-tm is correct. They look like real tenderloins in the link. They are called tenders which I thought is an abbreviate name for tenderloins. I've never bought them. Are they not, in fact, real tenderloins but rather a processed minced chicken full of additives and glue to keep them together?
