How to Make Krispie Chicken Tenders W Berrycherry Bbq Sauce

  1. **Make the BBQ Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup cherry preserves, 1/2 cup blueberry preserves, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. **Simmer the Sauce:** Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is broken down and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  3. **Prepare the Breading:** In a food processor, pulse 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal until finely crushed, resembling breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  4. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two large baking sheets.
  5. **Prepare the Chicken:** Rinse 1.5 lbs of chicken tenders and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  6. **Coat the Chicken:** In a shallow dish, toss the chicken tenders in 1/2 cup potato starch or all-purpose flour. In another shallow dish, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons milk.
  7. **Bread the Chicken:** Dip each floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the crushed Rice Krispies, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. **Bake the Chicken:** Place the breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
  9. **Bake and Serve:** Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with the berry-cherry BBQ sauce.
