Baked Honey Chicken Tenders

Charlotte Anderson @ Carolina Honeybees, LLC
Golden baked chicken tenders made using honey and bread crumbs for a crispy coating. Using only 1-2 tablespoons of honey adds flavor and locks in moisture.
Toss chicken in the flavorful coating and add some Italian Seasoning to give them more flavor if you wish. Moist and delicious.

Don't worry about adding the mayo - you won't taste it in the final dish.
You can substitute panko for bread crumbs if you wish.
