These Thai-style chicken tenders are crunchy, sticky, and irresistible all at once. Chicken strips are coated in a cashew & panko crumb, then fried until golden & crunchy before being smothered in a sweet-soy sauce. This yummy goodness sits atop a bed of fluffy ginger-infused coconut rice. Sided with a fresh carrot salad. Absolutely addictive!
