Who doesn’t love fried chicken? I mean ok maybe vegans and vegetarians… but hey. Chicken works in our house and we LOVE it.

I made this Garden Herb Fried Chicken a few weeks ago and it had my husband licking his plate. It was so fresh, crisp and juicy. I literally was thinking that day of what I could possibly throw together that would be yummy? I had to prune some of my herbs back in the garden so I thought about experimenting with fried chicken tenderloins might be worth a shot.

It was a huge success!!!

I hope this recipe works for you as much as it worked for us.
