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).
Notes
- Can I make this recipe ahead of time? YES! Simply prepare your chicken on a stick, store them in the refrigerator, and then pop them into the oven when you're ready to serve them. This makes them a great option for busy weeknights, as well as for when you're hosting guests and want to minimize your time spent in the kitchen.
- Can I freeze chicken on a stick? Totally. To freeze, after step 5 (see recipe card below), place chicken tenders on a sheet tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to a freezer bag, label and freeze up to 4 months. When ready to eat, follow steps 6-9 adding an additional 3-5 minutes to the cooking time. Do not defrost. These are a great alternative to store bought frozen chicken nuggets.
