Pork Rind Crusted Chicken Tenders
Pork Rind Crusted Chicken Tenders - oven baked chicken that is SO crispy and delicious! Everyone LOVED this chicken! Chicken tenders coated in crushed pork rinds, panko bread crumbs, cajun seasoning, eggs, and mayonnaise. Dip in your favorite dipping sauce or chop up on top of a salad. These are in our monthly dinner rotation. SO good! Can freeze coated tenders for later too!!!
These Pork Rind Crusted Chicken Tenders are oven baked and SO crispy & delicious! I'm not a big pork rinds person, but they worked fantastic in this recipe!!! Who would have thought?!?!
The chicken tenders are coated in a mixture of pork rinds and panko bread crumbs. That combination worked great! I baked the tenders on a foil-lined baking sheet and lightly sprayed them with cooking spray. They were delicious! The coating stayed on, and the chicken was perfect!!
We dipped the chicken tenders in my favorite Zippy Pineapple Dip (recipe here - ). We had some leftover chicken and chopped them up the next day in a salad for a quick and delicious lunch!
You can coat the chicken and freeze them for later. Just thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking.
