This was certainly a new way for me to prepare chicken strips, but very flavorful, too! Yet another great way t enjoy the good ol' chicken breast! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]

Saw this review and since I had chicken tenders, ran right out and purchased an injector. Only problem, the oregano and pepper clogged up the needle AND the end of the syringe !! Tried to overcome by cutting slits in the meat and teasing the solution through. It was quite tasty, but not very effective. Thanks for posting a new, for me, method. Will try with only liquid ingredients.
