"Well, sweetie/champ, it's actually quite simple. When a daddy loves deep-fried food, he goes to Food Republic and types 'breadcrumbs' into the search bar. With lots of dedication and love, a how-to on making breadcrumbs comes up and he's able to make yummy chicken tenders for you all by himself."

  • A food processor
