Baked Coconut Chicken Tenders

Spring is here and summer is right around the corner, which means it's a great time to bake instead of fry!  These chicken tenders are perfectly crispy (you won't notice that they aren't fried), both sweet and savory (the flavors are crazy yummy!), and pair well with a Thai sweet chili sauce.

Best dishes and yummy dreams!
