Deliciously textured chicken tenders. We just loved them. I added some chives to the cornflake coating. So easy too! They have that crispy crunch that you get when deep fried without any of the guilt. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.

We really enjoyed this dish Kee. The chicken was perfect, spicy, crispy, crunchy, moist and tender. It was a quick and easy dish to make with great results. Loved the heat in the chicken it was spot on. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Made for Pac 2011.
