These chicken tenders were delicious! I used a buttermilk substitute since I didn't have any on hand, and they still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken tenders didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These chicken tenders were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices to the breading next time.

These chicken tenders were easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and they cooked perfectly in 10 minutes. The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I served them with the herb
