Instructions
Follow these easy instructions to create your Baked Chicken Tenders perfectly:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Breading Stations: In three shallow bowls, set up your dredging station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge Chicken Tenders: Begin by coating each chicken tender in flour, ensuring an even layer. Shake off any excess.
4. Dip in Eggs: Next, dip the floured chicken tenders into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Place each tender on the lined baking sheet.
6. Spray Tenders: Lightly spray the coated chicken tenders with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil over the top for added crispiness.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
These simple steps lead to an amazing Baked Chicken Tenders outcome that can facilitate satisfaction and comfort at mealtime.
