These were super crunchy, but a little bland. The kids liked them.

This is the best chicken tenders with excellent sauce I have ever made my hubby requests this meal at least twice a month. Missing the boat if you pass this recipe up.

Great for adults and kids! I left the cayenne out because DD doesn't like spice. I doubled the mayo by mistake, and it still turned out good. Definately a keeper.

Originally I was gonna cut this recipe in half for 2 of us, but then decided to follow the ingredients 'almost' faithfully, but did use just 2 large chicken breasts (which amounted to 1 lb of chicken)! Then, I made another little twist, coating the chicken strips, then repeating the procedure a 2nd time for a generously thick coating! Turned out great for us & we thank you for sharing the recipe!
