Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders
These oven-fried chicken tenders are just as tasty as your typical fried chicken recipes. It's possible to fry these, but I prefer to bake them, as it creates less mess and produces a perfect fried chicken taste without using a lot of oil. Serve these with a side of mashed potatoes and homemade coleslaw and you'll have yourself a pure dish of comfort. For crispy tenders, make sure that your oven is preheated and do not overbake.
