Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Dredge 1 lb chicken tenders in the flour mixture until fully coated.
  2. Step 2: Place coated tenders on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar in a small bowl. Brush half the glaze over chicken tenders during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  4. Step 4: While chicken bakes, arrange 2 peeled carrots and 1 medium cucumber, cut into 3-inch sticks, on a serving platter.
  5. Step 5: Brush remaining glaze over baked tenders and serve immediately with vegetable sticks for dipping.
