You guys, I’ve been waiting to share these tenders with you for a while now. They’ve become my favorite food addiction lately!
Backstory:
My husband and his coworkers were on a kick of heading to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch a while back and I always wanted to try it. A few months ago we had a rare date night. We stopped in and grabbed a few different varieties of boneless chicken tenders and sauces. Then, we headed to an even rare movie outing and saw The Martian. I’m not a huge Matt Damon fan, but that was a really good movie, right? Anyways, back to the wings. One of my favorites, which isn’t surprising since I love Asian flavors, was their Asian Zing sauce. It was very flavor and had just enough heat for me. It didn’t cause palpitations, but I still needed to dip it into ranch or grab a celery stick afterwards.
I decided for the Super Bowl I was going to make a few different sauce for chicken tenders and these popped back into my mind. I checked my copy of Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 3 that was given to me by the publisher and sure enough, Todd Wilbur had a copycat Asian Zing sauce recipe! I thought these were spot on, but my husband said they were slightly different. A little sweeter with more heat. He preferred these much better than the restaurant’s. I found the sauce addictive and saved the extra for a dip. It works great for eggrolls, wontons, spring rolls, etc.! I added the sesame seeds as a visual cue that these were the Asian Zing tenders and loved the addition.
If you prefer wings, or don’t want to fry, go ahead and simply make up a batch of the sauce. I love this double battering and fry method for tenders with sauces because it soaks up the sauce without becoming soggy. It gives the perfect crunch!
