Today I want to share with you an easy recipe for chicken tenders baked in the oven, I used to make these a lot when my kids were younger and now I make them mostly as an appetizer. 

Chicken tenders are easy to make and I love that these are not fried at all. You can bake them in your oven and they are golden brown and crispy and delicious! I will be making a batch for the big game and they are delicious with dressing or salsa.

    Cassidy makes homemade tenders - WHICH ARE SO GOOD - but I think he fries them. I'd love to try them baked instead. We'll never buy the frozen kind again, I tell ya!
