Notes

For extra crispiness, bake the tenders on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.

Want a little heat? Add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the coating.

Try using crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs for a different crunch.

Serve with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce!
