Notes

Are these chicken tenders spicy?
These are mild in spice heat. My kids love them and are sensitive to spicy food.
Can I make these ahead?
You can make these ahead of time before traveling to a destination but I don't really recommend making them hours or days before. They are best if made and served immediately.
How do I store leftovers?
Store them in an airtight container for 5-7 days in the fridge. To reheat just microwave or air fry!
