Homemade Chick-Fil-A Chicken Tenders

When we moved to Alaska, we knew we wouldn't have all the same stores and restaurants that we were accustomed to having in the Lower 48. Chick-Fil-A is one of the places that we'd have to learn to live without and happens to be one of both mine and my husband's favorite restaurants. After several attempts at coming up with a copycat recipe, we finally struck gold!
Disclaimer: It is a copycat but it's pretty close if you ask me! Enjoy!
