Cornflake Crusted Chicken Tenders with Hot Honey Ketchup
These crispy chicken tenders are a fan favorite, no oil spitting, fire alarm-sounding, deep frying required. The cornflake crust gives them that satisfying crunch, while the center stays juicy and tender. Dip all that into our Hot Honey Ketchup for some sweet heat. You could call them a healthier alternative, but most people stick with “delicious.”
