Wendy's Spicy Chicken Fillet

I've never actually had a spicy chicken fillet, but it is Samantha's favorite, so we tried making them and she said it tasted a lot like the real thing. Marshall thought it was a little too spicy. Either way it was quite a tasty meal, and since it's baked and not fried it is healthier too. Note that this recipe is only for one sandwich.

1/4 tsp cornstarch
