Description
These chicken tenders are great as an appetizer or accompanied with another side dish as a meal. Try drizzling the sauce over the chicken if you want just a touch of added flavor. You can also play with the size of these and cut them to the length and shape you desire whether that involves cutting them long like fingers, shorter like tenders or mini sized like popcorn chicken!
