Tyson Chicken tender help

[Turbo3000]

I know Bouncer and a few other people are into the frozen chicken tenders. I finally got tired of buying packs of breasts and then either freezing or cleaning and cooking them right away. I finally got me a pack of the tyson frozen tenders, although I really have no idea what to do with them. What is the best way to cook them? Do I cook them frozen or thawed? My gf is moving into an apartment and I also need to know the best way to cook them without access to a grill, I will have an oven and george forman there.

It depends on what you want to do with them bro.

If you want to cook them plain and just used the cooked breast in a recipe later then you can just throw the whole bag in a large pot, place the stove on medium heat, cover, occasionally mixing them up to keep the ones on the bottom from burning and you're done (a whole bag 35+/- should take about an hour or so).

You can throw them in a pan with some pam,olive oil, or just water etc and just cook them this way. If you make any type of recipe like B's General Tso's and snow pea meal this is the way to go. Just take the needed amount of chicken and throw them in the pan with whatever other ingredients you plan on using, low heat, mix everything up occasionally, eat.

You can also try placing them in a 9x13 pan with some type of marinade and just bake them at 350 for about an hour to an hour and a half. You can use almost any type of light base salad dressing but I prefer a little white cooking wine, balsamic vinegar and my own seasoning mixture.

Just experiment bro - there are a thousand different ways to cook the same things and that's what makes it fun. Just take mental notes of what tastes good and what doesn't, eventually your recipe will evolve into something great.

P.S. Isn't the quote in your signature from Michael Jordan? Either way I like it...

Thanks for the help. I am on the hunt for that Iron Chef sauce starting tomorrow. Bouncer's General chicken is the first I will try. It states to cut up the chicken and throw in skillet, so does that mean while frozen or thawed. I am just so use to cooking thawed breasts. And I forgot where I got the quote, it does sound like something MJ would say.

Publix usually has Iron Chef or you can always order it online. Also, I just throw my frozen/uncooked chicken in a pan and then cut it up as it is cooking. You can always cook the chicken ahead of time and then use it in recipes like this during the week etc.

I cook my tenders frozen in the george foreman. They dont get dry unless you cook them too long. Mine fits 6-8 at a time and it only takes 6-7 minutes.
