Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter the insides of the buns and toast them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a crispy chicken tender in each bun and adding a slice of crispy bacon.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each sandwich. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Drizzle each sandwich generously with honey mustard sauce.
Serve warm, optionally garnishing with chopped green onions or parsley.
