These Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders Are the Ultimate Finger Food

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FAU chapter.

From pizza to churros, some of the best foods on the planet are those we eat with our hands. Sure, twirling strands of spaghetti on a fork or mastering the art of chopsticks can be fun, but there’s just something so enticing about eating a meal sans utensils.

When you’re in the mood to ditch the fork, throw it back to the days when you ordered off the kids menu and whip up a batch of these crispy baked chicken tenders with homemade honey mustard sauce. They’re finger-lickin’ good.

    #SpoonTip: Mixing your dry ingredients in a wide, shallow container (like a pie dish) will make for easy breading.
