Easy Baked Chicken Tenders
Description :
These baked chicken tenders have a deliciously crispy panko bread crumb coating for that extra crunch factor without the guilt of frying! You can marinate the tenders in light buttermilk in the refrigerator for 1 hour instead of dipping in the beaten egg.
Ingredient :
-
cooking spray
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs
-
2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon ground paprika
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken tenders, cut into 1/2-inch strips lengthwise
Direction :
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
-
Place egg in a shallow dish. Place panko, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well.
-
Dip 2 chicken strips into egg, then place into panko mixture and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
-
Spray each chicken tender with cooking spray twice.
-
Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip and continue to bake on opposite side until no longer pink in the centers, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven.
-
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
-
Broil tenders in the preheated oven for extra crunch, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
