Instructions
Preheat oven to 390°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
Mix buttermilk, egg, salt and pepper in a dish or plastic Ziplock bag. Add chicken tenders and marinate for 20 minutes.
While the chicken tenders are marinating, make the coating by combining the cereal crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne pepper in a large dish or plate big enough to add a chicken tender to coat.
When ready, one at a time, remove a chicken tender from the batter and place on top of the coating mixture. Press down a bit then flip to coat the other side, pressing down again. Place each chicken tender on the foiled lined baking sheet leaving about ½ inch between each piece. This will allow for more even cooking.
When done coating each chicken tender, bake for 15 minutes.
While the tenders are baking whisk up the Honey Mustard Sauce by adding the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
When chicken is done baking remove from oven and let rest until you can grab with your fingers. Serve with the Honey Mustard Sauce. Enjoy!
