For New Year’s Eve as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®  I made these easy Chicken Tenders appetizers using Shake-n-Bake perfect for kids and adults. chickentenderspicykidfreindly#shop.jpg

I love making easy appetizers for New Year’s Eve that work for both kids and adults. Kids tend like things a bit more plain and adults like a bit of spice. That is why is decided to create a chicken tenders recipe that can be made two ways and helps keep both kids and adults happy.   I  purchased all my Kraft foods ingredients at Walmart. These are super easy to make and were a huge hit at my home. For New Year’s Eve I paired the chicken tenders with Welch’s Sparking Grape Juice for the kids. They love that they have a special drink to toast the New Year just like the adults. You can pair  both types of chicken tenders with the Kraft Ranch dressing dipping sauce and the Cilantro dipping sauce. Mix and match and find your favorites.
