I saw this one linked on facebook and I was intrigued. I like when someone recommends a different way to treat something I make a lot (in this case, chicken nuggets or fingers). Because of the honey, I figured I could probably get away with trying this new side I have been wanting to for a while. 🙂
Chicken:
2 cups Lowfat Buttermilk
¼ cups Honey, Plus More For Drizzling
2 Tablespoons Ground Ginger, Divided
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder, Divided
1 pound Boneless Chicken Tenders
2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
¼ cups Whole Wheat Flour
Combine buttermilk, honey, 1 tablespoon ginger and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a baking dish. Cut chicken tenders in half or thirds and add to the buttermilk. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 450F.
Combine panko, remaining ginger and garlic, seasoned salt, and flour in a large bowl. Coat chicken pieces in the panko mix, then lay on a wire rack sitting on a baking sheet. Continue with remaining chicken pieces. Spray each piece with cooking spray or olive oil.
Bake for 10 minutes, flip, coat again with cooking spray, and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
When finished, drizzle honey over the chicken pieces.
Carrots:
1 1/2 pounds carrots, halved lengthwise (if large) and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
coarse salt and ground pepper
YUM that chicken is awesome!!! 🙂

Moo, yes. 🙂 The other one doesn’t eat anything anyway, so I can’t use him as a judge.
