I have some chicken for you.
(somewhere Jen is squealing in delight)
But like...Ok...let me take you on a journey.
Imagine those thin, super crispy, extra delicious chicken tenders that you get at like...a carnival or a pizza place or something. Remember how salty and chicken-y and gloriously fried they are.
Now imagine that you can have that chicken at your house. And it takes you less than an hour to make them. And they're not fried, but baked. So your arteries thank you.
Do you like this scenario?
Me too.
It's like if chicken fingers were french fries, ya know?
Seriously, one of my favorite new recipes. Michael wholeheartedly approves too. So...ya.
Chickennnn.
