    • Step 3: Make the Crack Sauce

    1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
    2. Stir until smooth and creamy. The sauce should be thick but spreadable. If you like your sauce a bit runnier, you can add a small amount of milk to reach your desired consistency.

    Step 4: Coat the Chicken with the Sauce

    1. Once all the chicken tenders are fried and crispy, drizzle the crack sauce over the tenders or toss the tenders directly in the sauce to coat them completely.
    2. Garnish with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and added color.

    Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

    Your Crack Chicken Tenders are now ready to be served! You can serve them with a side of dipping sauce (like ranch or buffalo sauce), or enjoy them as is. They’re perfect for a quick dinner or as a fun appetizer to share with friends and family.

    Tips for Success

    • Crispier Chicken: To get even crispier tenders, you can double coat the chicken: dip it in the egg and flour mixture, then repeat the process once more. This will add an extra layer of crunch.
    • Make It Spicy: For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the crack sauce. You can also sprinkle some chili flakes on the chicken before frying.
    • Oven Baked Option: If you prefer to avoid frying, you can bake the breaded tenders. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
    • Store Leftovers: Leftover chicken tenders can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to get them crispy again. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
