Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast tenders
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

– ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Making Crispy Homemade Baked Chicken Tenders is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Set Up Breading Stations:
– In one bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well.
– In a second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
– In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
4. Coat the Chicken:
– Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
– Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
– Finally, coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching for even cooking.
6. Apply Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the tops of the tenders with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through. Flip halfway for even browning.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
9. Cool Slightly: Let the chicken tenders rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
