Calories
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 to 2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1½ lb chicken tenders
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, hot sauce, and water until well combined.
- Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture (shake off excess), then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently so it sticks well.
- Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
