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!
