Baked Chicken Tenders
Done correctly, these chicken tenders should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without the guilt of fats and cholesterol.
What you need:
Sweet ‘Heat Chicken Rub
Strips of Chicken
Baking sheet
Large mouth bowl or plate to use for dipping the chicken strips in
Bread crumbs (plain) or crushed cornflakes (recommended)
Cooking spray
What you do:
In order to have the crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs stick to the chicken without the use of a binder like egg, you will need to let the strips marinate in the Sweet ‘n Heat Chicken Rub for several hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 350° and spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
Dredge the marinated chicken strips in the bread crumbs or crushed corn flakes.
Place the strips on the baking sheet and cook at 350° for approximately 6 minutes per side. Once done remove from oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Enjoy plain or with your favorite dipping sauce

Hot & Spicy Chicken Tenders
Your Ingredients: (serves 4 to 6)
15 chicken tenders
1 cup Louisiana hot sauce
1 cup (approx) self rising flour
2 T Lawry's garlic powder w/ parsley
2 tsp salt, or to taste
2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp onion powder
peanut oil (for frying)
2 cups honey
1 cup Louisiana hot sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
PLACE chicken tenders into an extra large Ziploc bag.
POUR 1 cup of Louisiana hot sauce into bag. Seal and refrigerate for 24 hours. Shake bags occasionally to make sure all tenders are evenly marinated.
PLACE the flour, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and onion powder in an extra large Ziploc bag.
ADD peanut oil to a large, heavy Dutch oven to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. if you're using a deep-frying thermometer. Another way to test is to place a wooden spoon in the oil and if the bubbles form all around it, it's ready for frying.
PLACE the marinated tenders, several at a time, in the Ziploc with the flour mixture and seal and shake to evenly coat the tenders. Shake off excess. Place floured tenders in the hot oil and deep-fry until tenders are golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. If you aren't using a deep-sided pot, just fry the wings for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
PREHEAT oven to 450°F.
WHILE the tenders are frying, place the honey, hot sauce, and brown sugar in a large bowl and use a wire whisk to blend until the mixture is smooth. When tenders are finished cooking, place them on paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Dip the tenders (one at a time is probably easier) into the honey mixture and lay them on a large foil-lined baking sheet. (You can use tongs.)
PLACE the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake until the sauce is dry, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn!
**This recipe is also great for chicken wings.
Always Enjoy!
