As a family with three children, we have gone through our fair share of chicken nuggets and dipping sauces over the years from various fast food restaurants.

Ok, fine even I am guilty of ordering chicken nuggets for dinner when we go to McD’s…and that was just the other week. Don’t judge me…I had a salad with them

The other day my husband and I were picking up some groceries from Sam’s Club. Anyone else love sample day? You know it’s going to be a good trip when you see all those booths lined up down the aisles. You also know you are bound to see and hear some funny things.

That day they were sampling the dino shaped chicken nuggets. We happened to walk by that booth and overheard a customer talking to the worker. “So, what’s in these?” “Oh, it’s chicken?” “But they are shaped like dinos?”

My husband is convinced this lady thought those dino nuggets really were made with dino meat because why else would she seem so surprised to find out they were chicken.

Or she was a professional sampler. You know the ones, right? They walk up to see what the sample is and then act like it is something they have never seen or tried before. Don’t try to act like you haven’t done that too. “Oh, what is this?” “Popcorn?” “Why no, I have never tried that before.” Ok, so maybe that’s being a little too silly.

Because eating out or buying chicken nuggets all the time can be pricy, I like to make these easy baked chicken tenders at home. You can bump up the spicy flavor by adding some hot sauce to the buttermilk that you marinate the chicken in. Adding cheese and Ranch powder to the breadcrumbs make these chicken tenders taste that much better.

My family went crazy for these spicy Parmesan Ranch chicken tenders. I’m thinking with 3 hungry kids, I am going to need to double the batch next time if I went leftovers. These chicken tenders will be perfect for all those salads that I have been eating.
