I'm not a huge fan of chicken tenders, but these were really good. The herb buttermilk dressing was the perfect dipping sauce. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

These chicken tenders were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken tenders turned out dry and overcooked. I'll have to try this recipe again.

These chicken tenders were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I thought the chicken tenders were a bit bland. I added some garlic powder and paprika to the breading and they were much better.

These chicken tenders were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavor was great. I'll try them again with a lower cooking temperature.
