CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS



Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders image

After reviewing several oven-fried, baked chicken recipes, I created this spicy, savory, slightly sweet, crispy baked chicken without any added salt. Using a cooking rack inside the baking dish helps to keep the chicken crispy on all sides and prevent the chicken from getting soggy on the bottom.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
⅔ cup grainy Dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
¼ cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 cup cornflake crumbs
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced onion flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders

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).

LAY'S CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS



Lay's Crispy Chicken Tenders image

I created this recipe for a contest at my husband's work. It comes out very crispy and is an interesting change to the regular chicken tender breading. We love it. We're also soy and dairy free so the recipe includes coconut milk instead of regular milk--I think the coconut milk gives it a very nice flavor. Enjoy!

AIR FRYER CHICKEN TENDERS



Air Fryer Chicken Tenders image

Crispy, healthy air fryer chicken tenders. Made with simple ingredients, they taste far better (and are better for you) than frozen or fried.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds chicken tenders (about 14)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Olive oil spray
Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip
Honey Mustard Sauce
Barbecue Sauce
Basil Yogurt Sauce (from these Zucchini Fries)

Steps:

  • With paper towels, pat the chicken tenders dry. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
  • In a shallow bowl (a pie dish works well) beat the eggs together. In a second shallow bowl, stir together the panko, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep it nearby.
  • Coat the chicken tenders: Working a few at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture, patting it gently as needed to adhere. Shake off excess.
  • Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. If you'd like to keep the chicken warm between batches, turn a regular oven to 250 degrees F. Coat the air fryer basket with the olive oil spray, then add chicken tenders in a single layer so that they are not touching (I can cook 4 at a time). Coat the top of the chicken tenders with oil spray.
  • Cook the chicken for 7 to 8 minutes, pulling out the air fryer basket and flipping the pieces over once halfway through. (The chicken should register at least 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and the outsides will be golden brown and crisp.) Repeat with remaining chicken tenders, keeping them warm in the oven between batches as desired. Enjoy hot.
