Pretzel Crusted Chicken Tenders with Spicy Cheddar Sauce
I've been making this pretzel chicken recipe for years but I normally serve it with a honey mustard sauce. I decided to mix it up this time around and serve it with a spicy cheddar sauce. Man, I am so glad that I did! It was a hit and a new family favorite!
