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).

I've tried many chicken tender recipes, but this one is by far the best! The breading is so flavorful and the chicken is always cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this recipe.

These chicken tenders were a bit dry for my taste, but the breading was very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again, but I will try to find a way to make the chicken more moist.

These chicken tenders were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.
