instead of bread crumbs I used crushed pork rinds and they turned out great.

Simple ingredients, good flavor, however some tweaks are needed. I made these twice, once exactly as written, and the second time using panko instead of breadcrumbs and a higher temp so they would brown better. I did like the crunch of the panko better, but both times the breading was falling off the chicken. 30 minutes is much too long for tenders -even at 350, they were done at 20 minutes. If I make these again I'd bake them at 425 for 12-15 mins max.
