"Chicken tenders dipped in honey mustard were my go-to order for YEARS when I was an awkward middle schooler (I’m still kind of awkward, just not of middle school age any longer). Working with @annieshomegrown and @thefeedfeed on these good ol’ trusty chicken tendies but with a delicious white cheddar spin on them! PLUS they aren’t deep fried like the normal ones you get at your local restaurant or concession stand. Win-win. Annie’s not only provided the white cheddar crackers to use for the “breading” but they also came in cluuuuutch with their honey mustard. It’s certified organic, gluten-free (for the #guthealth), and they have so many additional flavors like horseradish, classic yellow, and dijon! Excuse me while I go dive into a pool of Annie’s mustard. Peace. #MoreYum #Feedfeed #sponsored #ad #paidad @annieshomegrown @thefeedfeed @outpostnaturalfoods #annieshomegrown"
