I am pretty sure that I have discovered the KFC secret recipe! It is DEAD ON! It is also baked... not fried and there isn't any skin. So you get to enjoy the taste of the seasoning, instead of pulling it off because of the slimy skin. This is super easy and you are TOTALLY going to love it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Your kids will request these chicken tenders again and again. Baking the chicken tenderloins in butter makes the coating crisp and crunchy. They have a fried flavor without being fried. Packed with flavor, the chicken's tender and juicy.
