Sticky Tenders with House Sauce

Written by Published on in Appetizers, Chicken, Main Dishes

Well, these were an unexpected Weeknight Win! Simple ingredients and so much flavor. I love these for dinner, but they would be great for a party as well.

These are teen boy and toddler approved. I had a few leftover and shared them with the neighborhood teens. They INHALED them and fought for the last one. lol I do believe teenage boys are my favorite people to feed. First of all, they are always hungry. Second, they are always hungry. 😉

Tenders to-go!
