Fiesta Friday #241

Lately I’ve been eating these glazed chicken tenders.

Glazed Chicken Tenders | FiestaFriday.net

Too many of them. I think I’m developing an addiction to them.


Yes, they’re from McDonald’s.

I know…I know… You’re thinking…they’re from McDonald’s, they can’t be good, but they are! I’m serious, you need to try them.

Does anybody have a copycat recipe for them? The healthier baked version, if possible, in light of the horrendously large amount I’m consuming.

Another thing I can’t get out of my mind is this Buddakan’s Lobster Saffron Fried Rice.

Lobster Saffron Fried Rice | FiestaFriday.net

It tastes like paella and fried rice combined, with big chunks of lobster meat. Just divine!

Can someone make a copycat recipe for it, please?

Those are my requests of the week. Next week, onto pumpkins, since fall is on the horizon. Actually, not really. I much prefer apples than pumpkins. So next week, let’s do apples! But pumpkins are welcome, too. Actually, anything is welcome and appreciated. We’re not picky at Fiesta Friday.

Now, take a look at these yummies

Cheese & Mango Chutney Muffins from Cat @ Curly’s Cooking

“What a clever idea! I’d never have thought to add chutney to my muffins – it’s opened up all sorts of possibilities! ? Cheese, mango chutney & a sprinkling of nigella seeds – what an amazing flavour combination! Thanks Cat!” — Laurena

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars from Lily @ Little Sweet Baker

“These are perfect for hosting and look so quick and simple to make!” — Deb

Pimm’s Cooler with Ginger Beer from Judi @ cookingwithauntjuju.com

“So, who’s opened a bottle of Pimm’s and then forget about it for a whole year? Me, that’s who! I hope it’s still good ‘coz I’m definitely making this. There’s still enough warm weather to enjoy this. Look how refreshing and pretty it looks!” — Angie

Yellow Tomato Bloody Mary from Becky @ Bubbly Bee

“Yes, another drink. I’m very thirsty. But look how pretty! And not so bloody! Besides I have yellow tomatoes in my backyard and you can only eat so much salad!” — Angie

    What? The chicken is from McDonalds? We most certainly don’t have that here but if we did I’d never get my boys out of there! 😛 Apples over pumpkin? Hmmm, if you’d tried the pumpkin slice I had this week you might change your mind! 😀 Ooo, how about I create something apple AND pumpkin!? 😀 Happy Fiesta!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 8:29 am

      They’re kind of new, they’re called Sweet N’ Spicy Honey BBQ Glazed Tenders, and I just went to their website and they’re only here for a limited time. Why are they so good?! Apple and pumpkin together sound terrific! I have pumpkin waffles with apple sauce on the old blog.

  2. Monika Dabrowski says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:32 am

    What a tasty looking collection! I am planning both apple and pumpkin recipes in the near future so will be linking them up very soon. Have a good weekend!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 8:40 am

      Looking forward to your healthy recipes, Monika!

  3. Judith says

    September 14, 2018 at 9:08 am

    Thanks a lot for the feature – I had to buy a new bottle so I will probably have to make these all year long 🙂 Those chicken tenders sound delicious – guess I will have to stop at McDonald’s sometime soon. I’m always looking for different ways to serve rice and with lobster – can’t get any better than that!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 10:09 am

      You’re welcome and yes, definitely get the chicken from McDonald’s. And then maybe you can create a homemade version ?

      • Judith says

        September 14, 2018 at 2:10 pm

        It’s a new sauce that only came out a few weeks ago – so no copycat recipes. It’s only here on a temporary basis so would need to come up with a buttermilk sauce and add the bbq flavor. Could be a challenge!

        • Angie says

          September 14, 2018 at 4:10 pm

          If you take up the challenge, maybe I will, too. Pretty sure you can come up with something even better!

  4. Heather says

    September 14, 2018 at 9:22 am

    I’m so excited to be participating in my first Fiesta Friday! Angie, I didn’t even know that McDonald’s now has chicken tenders?! Or perhaps this has always been a thing… Either way you’ve got me wanting to go get some for lunch!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 10:14 am

      Welcome to Fiesta Friday, Heather! Hey everyone, say hello to Heather! Yes, they’ve had chicken tenders for a while now, but these glazed ones are new and for a limited time so I’m trying to eat as much as I can, lol. Have fun at the fiesta!

  5. Irene says

    September 14, 2018 at 9:52 am

    Thank you for throwing another great Fiesta Friday, Angie! This weekend is very special for Mexico, since we celebrate Independence Day on September 16!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 4:42 pm

      Happy Independence Day! I should whip up a big Mexican feast. After all it’s a fiesta blog ?

  6. Helen at the Lazy Gastronome says

    September 14, 2018 at 10:08 am

    Thanks for hosting a great party – again!! Have a great weekend.

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 4:38 pm

      No problem, Helen. Have fun at the fiesta!

    Those bits of chicken actually looked drizzled in sugary sauce (which I don’t want for chicken). I must admit, I’m not tempted, even if they weren’t McDonalds. But a great photograph! Now… the lobster saffron fried rice… I can seriously get behind that! Anyhow… Happy Fiesta!!!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 4:37 pm

      The sauce is pretty sweet; it’s honey bbq sauce. Spicy, too. Just about what I can tolerate. It’s really quite good considering it’s from McDonald’s. The fried rice is from Buddakan; everything they serve is pretty good even if they lack authenticity. They call it Modern Asian food ? I have no problem with that ?

  8. Carissa Nelson | Spoonful of Easy says

    September 14, 2018 at 11:15 am

    Okay, I wish I didn’t know those were from McDonald’s, because now I want to go get them immediately. and it’s 10 o’clock in the morning, lol. Thanks for hosting a great party!

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 4:26 pm

      Happens to me all the time! I’d be looking at a picture of spaghetti and meatballs in the morning and I want it for breakfast, lol.

    I do like the sound of the lobster fried rice! Mc’Donalds chicken things (it’s a technical term I promise) not so much but that’s just me 😉 Lovely features this week and that not so bloody Bloody Mary sounds and looks fabulous! Have a great weekend and Happy Fiesta Angie! 🙂

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 4:25 pm

      I didn’t think I was going to like the chicken but we received coupons and decided to give it a try. I think I’m just into bbq sauce at the moment. The fried rice on the other hand is from this upscale modern Asian restaurant, Buddakan. I’ll have to try making it at home since it’s quite a drive to get there. Have a wonderful weekend, Jo!

  10. Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says

    The chicken looks so divine, Angie!! I understand why you’d want a copycat recipe. I would have said the same thing. Too bad we don’t have this on the menu. I’d also prefer apple desserts than pumpkins, so I feel excited to see apple recipes. Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie!?

    • Angie says

      September 14, 2018 at 6:52 pm

      It’s a new item on the menu, Jhuls. Maybe it’s only offered at some locations, I don’t know. Pretty sure you can come up with your own homemade version, even better one. Have a great weekend, Jhuls! Ready for your vacation?

  11. Antonia says

    September 15, 2018 at 3:29 pm

    Wow, McDonalds. I wouldn’t have guessed it. Everything looks delicious this week! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, Angie!

    • Angie says

      September 15, 2018 at 8:22 pm

      Doesn’t taste like it comes out of McDonald’s either. I just love it. Maybe I’m just into bbq sauce ? Enjoy your weekend, Antonia!

    You could add my Portugese chicken I’ve just posted to Fiesta Friday this week.
    Best wishes.
