Description
Crispy baked chicken tenders are a delightful dish that brings joy to both kids and adults alike. They are easy to make, versatile, and healthier than fried options.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams (1 pound) chicken breast strips
- 100 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams (1.5 cups) breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Pat the chicken breast strips dry with paper towels.
- Create a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat each chicken strip in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, let the coated chicken sit for 10 minutes before baking.
- Using panko breadcrumbs will yield a crunchier texture.
- Consider marinating the chicken for added flavor.
