Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders Recipes

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).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix panko, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper together well.
• Beat egg in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken tenders into the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko mixture. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy on the outside and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Submerge the chicken strips in the buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you'd like).
• In another bowl, combine the flour and seasoning salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, gradually drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it to achieve clumps.
• Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
• Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked chicken strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating the chicken strips until they are all ready to cook.
• When the oil is sufficiently heated, begin cooking the strips a few at a time. Cook them for about a minute and a half or so on each side. When golden and crispy and the chicken is done, remove them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not allow them to burn.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!

Steps:

• Cut the chicken lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the milk, cayenne, eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper in another shallow dish until combined. Put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge the chicken fingers in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to help adhere well. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or a baking sheet.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the chicken fingers, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Serve with honey mustard, spicy ketchup and/or ranch dressing for dipping.

Steps:

• Grind or crush lays in a ziploc bag with a mallet or rolling pin, pour into a bowl with the breadcrumbs, set aside.
• Beat the egg with milk in a bowl, and set aside.
• Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powder, turmeric, salt and black pepper in a bowl. Set this aside also. (You're setting up a dredging station with three different shallow bowls-glass pie dishes work best).
• Dip the chicken pieces into the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, shake off the excess flour.
• Dip into the egg/milk wash, coating well.
• Dip into the lays mixture, coating well.
• Set aside on plate to rest while heating oil.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet to 325 degrees.
• Drop coated chicken tenders into hot oil and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes depending on size.
• Drain on wire mesh rack suspended over a cookie sheet.

Steps:

• BROCCOLI SLAW Preparation(To make your own)- Cut off ¼ of the bottom hard part of the broccoli stem and discard, then cut just below the flowerets, next take a carrot peeler and remove the outside hard part of the broccoli, then cut in half and then make thin match stick size slices, next add match stick slivers of baby carrots and finally add a small amount of red cabbage for color, mix together and set aside.
• CHICKEN PIECES Preparation- Cut chicken breast into thin slices, then with a meat hammer tenderizer/pound each side flat, set aside.
• SPICE MIX Preparation- Combine with potato flakes the 9 spices listed just below the potato flakes, mix and set aside.
• VEGETABLE THICKENING SAUCE Preparation- In a cup combine the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, cornstarch and mix well, set aside.
• COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a baking pan about 13" x 9" (larger size for 2 chicken breasts), line with aluminum foil (if you prefer an easy clean-up) and then add 2 tablespoons oil & 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, then spread around the surface of the pan.
• Dip the chicken into the beaten egg and then coat chicken pieces thoroughly in the potato flake mixture.
• Next add to baking pan and cook uncovered for about 7-10 minutes, next turn all the pieces and cook another 7-10 or so minutes, check to see if the pieces are done and not overcooked (very thin slices will cook faster the thicker ones).
• While the chicken is cooking, in wok add 2 tablespoons oil, ginger and garlic and stir a few seconds, next add the broccoli slaw, stir-fry for about 2 minutes (add a touch of water as needed).
• Next add the thickening sauce to the wok and stir fry a few moments more, then add the 3 tablespoons of the cilantro leaves, stir briefly, then place the vegetables around the edge of a nice sized plate for serving.
• When the chicken is done add to the center of the plate, drizzle the honey on the chicken pieces and next add the cilantro sprigs as garnish.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE.
• This recipe is for 2 servings, however, if you add a second chicken breast just double the ingredients and it can then easily serve 4 people,
• Further, this recipe was created for one of the RSC contests and Broccoli Slaw and Honey had been required ingredients. However, you can cut down on the preparation and cooking time for this recipe by eliminating the Broccoli Slaw (steps #1 and #4) and Honey if you would like.
• Also, adding a pinch of Bijol coloring to the spice mix, will give the chicken pieces a slightly yellow and appealing color.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Mix buttermilk and 2 Tbsp. each hot sauce and vinegar in large bowl until blended. Add chicken; toss to coat. Refrigerate 10 min., stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining hot sauce and vinegar until blended; set aside. Combine sour cream and blue cheese; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Place bread crumbs and garlic powder in shallow dish. Drain chicken; discard buttermilk mixture. Dip chicken, 1 piece at a time, in crumb mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each piece. Place in single layer on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; sprinkle with red pepper.
• Bake 20 min. or until done. Transfer to platter; drizzle with vinegar mixture. Serve with vegetables and blue cheese dip.
