vegetable cooking spray (such as I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!®)
1 egg, beaten
1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs

Tips for Making Cheddar Flavored Chicken Tenders:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the tenders.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken tenders are very thin, so they can easily become overcooked and dry. Cook them only until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all great options.
  • You can also bake the chicken tenders instead of frying them. To do this, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

Conclusion:

Cheddar flavored chicken tenders are a delicious and easy to make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty treats at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
