"This is a fun recipe! Kids will love it! I serve with a jarred marinara sauce that I jazz up a little. I have also tried this recipe using pork chops cut into thin strips. Both ways are excellent! Enjoy!"

Excellent, this was my first time using panko bread crumbs and I love them, for the first time bread crumbs that stick to my chicken! I loved the spices and all! Thanks so much for giving me a great chicken tenders recipe and a great relaxing Saturday lunch!

Yum! Very tasty chicken, these stix have fantastic flavor. DH thought they were just a bit too salty so next time I will probably omit the 1/2 tsp. of salt. Thanks for the awesome recipe kpd!

These chicken stix were great! They were super easy to put together which is always a good thing. As I was putting the coating together, I realized I didn't have any Italian salad dressing mix so I used recipe #98194 instead and it worked like a charm. I love the kick from the cayenne. Thanks for posting!
