Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick spray.
In a large zip lock combine the ½ flour, ½ panko, spices and chicken tenders, then shake to fully coat the chicken.
Pour buttermilk into the bag and mix the contents of all bag thoroughly. Marinate for 1 hour or overnight.
When marinated roll each tender into the remaining panko and flour. Then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken tenders.
In a small bowl microwave together the honey and 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes for 2 minutes. (add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper if you’d like the sauce real spicy) Remove and cool a bit.
When everything has cooled enough to handle, coat each chicken strips with the honey sauce. Serve warm and enjoy.
