Do I need to remove the tendons? If so, how? This seems like a lot of prep work. Can you buy chicken tenders with the tendon already removed?
You don’t need to remove them. They are edible. They cook up a little tougher than the rest of the meat. If you are breading them, your kids might not even notice. I’d serve them with tendons and see if anyone notices.
