Ingredients

2 cups - cornflakes
2 teaspoons - kosher salt
1 lb - chicken tenders, remove white stringy tendon
1 cup - buttermilk
1 package - popsicle sticks
cooking oil spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place the cereal and 1 teaspoon salt in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin OR place in a food processor until the size of breadcrumbs.
Pour the buttermilk in one bowl and the cereal in another.
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.
Roll the chicken tenders in the buttermilk and then in the cereal, coating the chicken completely. Press down lightly to adhere the cornflakes to the chicken.
Line a sheet tray with foil or parchment paper and spray it with oil.
Place the chicken tender sticks on the sheet tray and lightly spray them with oil. Cover stick handles with foil so they do not burn.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve with ranch dip or other favorite dipping sauce.
*After step 5 place chicken tenders on a sheet tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to a ziploc bag, label and freeze up to 4 months. When ready, follow steps 6-9 adding an additional 3-5 min cooking time (do not defrost).
