Take the popsicle sticks and skewer the chicken tenders on to the sticks leaving a 1 inch handle. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over chicken tenders.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tendon Removal Technique ✂️Use a sharp paring knife to gently scrape along the white tendon while holding the chicken tender steady—removing it completely prevents chewy texture in every bite.
- Buttermilk Soaking Time ⏱️Marinate chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to tenderize the meat and create a better breading adhesion for maximum crispiness.
- Cornflake Crushing Method 🥣Pulse cornflakes in a food processor to varying sizes—some fine crumbs and some larger pieces create superior texture and golden-brown color compared to uniform powder.
- Popsicle Stick Preparation 🍡Soak wooden popsicle sticks in water for 30 minutes before inserting them to prevent burning and splintering during cooking or handling.
- Oil Spray Application Strategy 🎯Apply cooking oil spray in two light passes (before and halfway through cooking) rather than one heavy coat to achieve even, crispy coating without greasy spots.
