KONA K'S HEALTHY OVEN-BAKED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN TENDERLOINS



Kona K's Healthy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken Tenderloins image

A great recipe to try when you're in the mood for fried chicken, but can't afford all the calories and fat. If you're out of buttermilk, you can just substitute 1/4 C milk + 1 TSP vinegar. I like to spice this up by adding lots of hot sauce. If time allows, I would recommend soaking the chicken tenderloins in the buttermilk, garlic powder and hot sauce mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This will make the chicken much more flavorful. (Picture: served with Kona K's Oven-Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe #368944)
