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.
