Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Some people say “if you like it then you should have put a wing on it.” And, boy, oh boy, do we agree. Still, some people like to take it a little slower when it comes to love (and spice), and we get that too. So we created Buffalo Chicken Tenders—intentionally not burn-your-esophagus or burn-your-heart hot, but tender and mild. Like first love, sorta. (I mean, it’s not that much of a stretch since one of our first childhood loves really were chicken tenders…) So you and your kiddos alike can love every minute of it.
