You can parse the string as HTML

var testVariable = "<input type='radio' name='gender' value='male' checked> Male<br><input type='radio' name='gender' value='female'>Female<br>";

var parser = new DOMParser();
var doc    = parser.parseFromString(testVariable, "text/html");
var val    = doc.querySelector('input[type="radio"][checked]').value;

console.log(val)
