Crunchy Barbecue Chicken Tenders

These crunchy barbecue chicken tenders were super easy to make and my family thought it was the best thing ever. I mean seriously, loved it.

For the next several days, I heard lots of comments about dinner being good, but not as good that crunchy chicken!  It’s guaranteed to be on the menu quite often.

My mother in law was telling me about a recipe she saw in a magazine using barbecue chips as the crust and I knew I had to try it.  She tried the magazine recipe and said it was okay but the barbecue taste didn’t really come through.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it and came up with my own version. I dredged the chicken tenders in flour and then Dr. Pepper Barbecue Sauce. Then I rolled them in a combination of barbecue kettle chips and Ritz crackers.

I tend to fry all the things like Easy Popcorn Chicken, but it was so easy to stick these in the oven. They baked up crispy, crunchy and so full of barbecue deliciousness.

I planned to serve them with my easy twice baked potatoes but my potato skins fell apart so I made it into a casserole. The Best Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes would also be a great choice.

With easy dinners like this one, I finally got far enough along on my bookwork for the accountant to file my tax extension last week. Gosh I hate tax time! I still have to go through and finalize it all.

I swear every year that I will do better and not procrastinate until the very last minute. I never do. I can find every excuse on the planet to put it off, I am officially the worst. I’m just hoping to redeem myself with another round of Crunchy Barbecue Chicken Tenders!
