I liked the breading on the chicken but the sauce was a little too sweet for me to have a lot of. I used a candy/oil thermometer in my pan when I fried the oil, although I had a hard time keeping the oil above 350 they still cooked just fine. The leftover chicken went in my salad for lunch the next day.

You mentioned an apple rice pilaf salad that you pair with the chicken. Can't find the recipe. Help

We tried this with Lime Curd Instead of Lemon Curd. Should have rolled it in coconut since we added the lime.

Very easy recipe to make with great results.

Can the lemon curd be made with splenda instead of sugar, my Mom is a diabetic and has to watch her carbs.

These could be baked instead of deep fried. I've successfully baked tenders whether they be fully cooked tenders or raw ones. Preheat oven to about 350 degrees, spray a baking pan well with cooking spray, place tenders & give them a good spray. Cook around 8 minutes, then turn them over & spray well again, if needed, and cook another 8 minutes or until dones. When done, place tenders on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Way too many carbs. What if you don't have an electric fry pan?

This sounds really good, but the fat and calorie content is way too high!

This was SO delicious! I couldn't find buttermilk so I used regular 2% milk. Can't wait to make it again.

Tried the recipe and it was good. I think next time I will use less ginger.
