Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Why Your Chicken Tenders Are Chewy (and My Easy Fix) 🍗 #shorts

Natasha Kravchuk grips the white tendon with a paper towel, slips it between the tines of a fork and pulls the fork down through the meat. Out comes the tendon, leaving the chicken tenderloin intact. No painstaking trimming required.

That small fix gave Natashas Kitchen its most-watched new Short of a five-upload week. "Why Your Chicken Tenders Are Chewy (and My Easy Fix) 🍗 #shorts" has reached about 147,000 views and remains the channel's fastest-moving upload. In the comments, home cooks describe cutting around the tendon or shredding the meat while trying to remove it. Others share their own kitchen-shear methods: a surprisingly practical conversation beneath a very short demonstration.

The week's longer recipe, "Is This the Best Instant Pot Chili You'll Ever Make?", builds dinner around ground beef, black beans and kidney beans. Natasha's instructions emphasize browning the beef, blooming the spices and layering rather than stirring before pressure cooking, with a section devoted to preventing the pot's BURN warning. A separate Short offers a quick version of the same dinner.

Elsewhere, raw lasagna noodles go straight into the crockpot, and freshly baked cookies get extra chocolate pressed onto their tops. The older roasted sweet potato halves are also keeping busy, now past a million views without requiring peeling or chopping.

Subscribers held steady over the week, while today's viewing is well above the channel's usual daily level. Nearby in the food world, Tasting History with Max Miller had a substantially larger viewing week, while Calfreezy was quieter. For Natasha, the most active new tip needs only two things already sitting in many kitchens: a fork and a paper towel.

What viewers say

Definitely going to try this! I purposely don't buy chicken tenderloins because of that tendon. I usually end up shredding the piece of meat to get it out!

I have a college degree, but this is the most useful thing I’ve learned in five years.

I cut off the end of it and any I can see along the surface with kitchen shears. Whatever is left in there is so thin it's not noticeable.
