Yummy chicken! I really enjoyed the combination of spices in this, especially the hot sauce. I also cut my chicken in strips to make chicken tenders and served with a sour cream/salsa dipping sauce. Yum - thanks for sharing the recipe!

delicious! i sliced my chicken into thin strips so i doubled the breading ingredients and i drizzled the chicken with melted butter before baking. other than that, i stayed true to the recipe and it was fantastic! the chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. my toddler loved these!! thanks for the keeper! made for photo tag!
