Made them but the 6 minutes turned into 15 minutes on each side, cause the bread crumbs were falling off so I kept them there longer. Would do them again, I would just adjust the time next time.

Just made this and it turned out quite well. Used an air fryer to keep the fat content down, 350 degrees for 12 minutes, flip halfway through. The tenders were cut thin, so not as much cooking needed as was suggested online. Also toasted the bread crumbs in a frying pan. You have to keep an eye on that, because the line between toasted and burned is very thin. Caught them just before they got burned. Overall, I’d make these again.

I add finely chopped pecans to the breadcrumbs and a few spices to kick up the heat and these come out moist and delicious every time! A tasty alternative that is *almost* as good as the real deal!

To get an dry outside it became a chewy center

I followed excatly as told and they never “crisped” like mentioned even after putting them back in the oven another 15 mins. The yogurt and bread crumbs was more of a thick sauce than a breading.

I did exactly what it said and mine are gummy and the breading fell off. Should have read the reviews… I am starting to think that these 5 star reviews are bogus!!!

I had a hard time with this recipe. It seemed like a great idea to use yogurt but the chicken came out gummy. When I picked them up with tongues, the breading and yogurt had made this gooey coating that never hardened or crisped up. So I put them back under the broiler with no improvement. Just use egg to coat, buttermilk or eat something else! You’re not really saving much by using yogurt! It is the breading bad for you over the small amount of egg or milk!

this is so good i could eat this all day long

No seasoning advised for the chicken or the breadcrumbs. The yogurt makes the chicken somewhat sour. This recipe is totally lacking flavor. A good sauce might compensate but again, no suggestions provided. I wouldn’t make it again. I might marinate in a yogurt dressing and then crumb and bake.

No flavor, the breading didn’t stick and didn’t brown. Won’t make it again
