Recipe Description
Baked chicken tenders with buffalo blue cheese sauce is a summer favorite in my household. Chicken tenders are marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce then coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs and baked then get a tasty bath in a delicious buffalo blue cheese sauce.
This chicken recipe is also known as picnic chicken because it’s very portable and my go-to for the perfect for beach picnic or road trip. Panko breadcrumbs stay crispier than regular breadcrumbs which is perfect for retaining a little crisp and crunch.
