Crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders Recipes

Steps:

• 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 bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well. Dip 2 chicken strips into egg and then place into bread crumb 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 2 times.
• Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; flip, 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 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a cooking rack inside a baking dish and spray both with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, garlic powder, and pepper in a flat dish; stir until evenly combined. Stir mustard, honey, egg substitute, and hot sauce together in a small bowl.
• Combine cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion flakes, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper in another flat dish; stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Dip chicken tenders into the flour mixture until coated evenly, then dip into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess liquid. Drag the chicken through the bread crumb mixture, covering evenly.
• Place chicken on the prepared cooking rack. Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, basil, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Mix egg and water together in another bowl. Pour crushed cereal into a third bowl.
• Dip each tender in the flour mixture first, shaking off excess. Dip in egg and then in crushed cereal. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 12 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Brush 1 tablespoon of oil over each of 2 heavy large lined baking sheets. Place the buttermilk in a large bowl. Add the chicken tenders and stir to coat. Let stand at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash the garlic with the salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the vinegar and then the remaining 1/2 cup of oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with pepper. Transfer the vinaigrette to a small serving bowl.
• Stir the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a pie dish. Remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk and dredge them in the bread crumb mixture to coat completely, pressing to adhere. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over the chicken tenders and bake until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 12 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken tenders to a platter and serve the vinaigrette alongside for dipping.

Steps:
