Notes
Tips
- Be sure to lightly but thoroughly grease or spray the muffin pan wells to prevent sticking.
- Be sure to bake the tots until they're soft but not fully cooked the first time around. Overbaking them at the start can cause the cups to crumble along the edges.
- Use kitchen shears to easily cut up the chicken tenders for the cups.
