Chicken Tenders – Adult Style

Into a large bowl, mix the buttermilk, lemon juice, worcestershire, soy sauce and all of the seasonings. Basically this is everything but the bread crumbs, seeds, butter, and shortening. Once mixed, add in the sliced chicken and add to a large ziploc bag, and marinate this over night.

When you are ready to prepare them, add the butter and shortening into a saucepan and begin to melt the two on medium to low heat.

Lightly grease two, 13×9 baking pans and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

When you are prepared to make the chicken tenders, mix your bread crumbs and sesame seeds in another Ziploc bag, or a thick paper bag. Add in the chicken tenders, a few at a time, into the crumb mix, and give it a good shake, making sure you coat each tender. Place them on the baking pan, and repeat until all tenders are coated.

Pour the butter mixture over each of the tenders, and place in the oven for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until you achieve a nice golden color on the tender.

You will notice that some of the tenders will caramelize on the bottom (my favorite), and the coating holds nicely to each tender. Remove with a thin spatula, and plate.

Everyone at the table loved these tenders, much like I did many years ago. I still love them much the same as I did during my teen years, and this recipe is one that I will continue to make for my birthday. Hope you enjoy.
