Sweet, Spicy, and Crunchy Chicken Tenders



I found a recipe on Betty Crocker that I adapted to this.  It is very tasty and by using Panko to coat the chicken, they come out very crispy and crunchy.  I like to dip mine in honey mustard, but any dipping sauce would work.  They are great without sauce.  Kids love them.

10-12 chicken tenders
1/3 cup brown sugar (I used dark)
1/3 cup honey
1/2 Tablespoon smokey paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
Coarse ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking pan with foil.  Top pan with a baking rack that you spray with cooking spray. 

In a bowl, combine Panko crumbs, garlic powder, and fresh ground, coarse black pepper. 

In a small bowl combine brown sugar, honey, cayenne, and paprika. It will be very thick. Microwave for 30-40 seconds to thin but not cook sauce.

Dip chicken tenders in the sauce and then into the seasoned Panko crumbs.  Place on rack. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes.
