**July is Fried Chicken month!**
A big change has happened for the Crazy Cooking Challenge! Now participants can find their recipe ANYWHERE. Famous or not famous. Or create your own. I am still going to try and find mine on blogs though. That's how I roll :P I like to share other blogs.
When I was looking around, I was trying to find something other than just plain fried chicken. I'm not the biggest fan of fried chicken in the first place, so I wanted something that wasn't traditional fried chicken. I got this recipe from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks, a blogger I follow and adore. Heather blogs about food and books - two of my favorite things. Last reveal day, Heather posted these chicken tenders on her blog. I was really intrigued by the idea of using pretzels for the crumb base and I really loved the bite of the ranch. I actually dipped mine in buffalo sauce, which was great with it. I know lots of people dip buffalo chicken in ranch dressing.
Also I wanted to point out how ugly mine turned out. I was talking to my friends about how hard it is to sell ugly delicious food. Like "Oh there is this recipe I love, check it out!" and then it doesn't look good. I assure you, these are super delicious. My husband tried one (cold) and loved it and he hates ranch anything, if that gives you any idea of how good they are. Food is not one of those things that you can "judge by its cover" so to speak.
