LAY'S CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS



Lay's Crispy Chicken Tenders image

I created this recipe for a contest at my husband's work. It comes out very crispy and is an interesting change to the regular chicken tender breading. We love it. We're also soy and dairy free so the recipe includes coconut milk instead of regular milk--I think the coconut milk gives it a very nice flavor. Enjoy!
