30 Minute Chicken Tenders Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 lb chicken tenders
  • - 2 large eggs
  • - 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - Cooking oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, place the flour and season it with salt and pepper as well.
  • Dip each chicken tender first into the flour, coating it evenly, then into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, return the chicken to the flour for a second coating.
  • Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with a little cooking oil to help them become crispy in the oven. Using plenty of oil is essential for achieving the desired crispiness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken tenders are golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) is recommended.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For the best results, make sure to let your chicken tenders rest for a few minutes after baking; this allows the juices to redistribute, keeping them moist.
  • Additionally, feel free to experiment with your seasoning—adding spices like paprika, garlic powder, or Italian herbs to the flour can elevate the flavor profile of your chicken tenders.
  • For extra crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs in place of some or all of the flour.
